Cranks but won't start. Unplug ground at field spade on Alternator and it starts?

Then I would concentrate on the IGN2 bypass circuit. Once again did you hook your meter to coil + and crank engine, what do you get for voltage when cranking?

Using an ohmeter to troubleshoot in this way GENERALLY is poor practice, WHY?

Because if you DO have a poor connection, switch, etc, someplace, they are often not stable in resistance. Under load they heat, and the resistance goes up. Troubleshoot first with voltage loss, looking for voltage drop along the path
Yep I agree with ALL of the above....
