I put a 100 ohm (NOT kilo-ohm) in-line at the red/yel-black/yel ignition wire that runs to the ECU since I have no ignition switch. What other stupid stuff do I need to bypass for the thing to send power pulses to the coils? I put a Ohm meter across the green-white leads from the AC-rotor and it registers 3 different values as it cranks. I presume that is correct but I don't know.

Too many variables for a quick diagnosis.

Are you using a service manual wiring diagram, or magical incantations 
off the 'net?

Personally, I'd simplify the problem and disable one circuit at a time, 
rather than all at once.
