Is there continuity to body ground at ECU connector terminals A10, A23, A9, and A22?

Did you use a multimeter to do the tests I mentioned? If so, what resistance did you measure at each terminal?

Is there spark at the plugs?

Focus on retesting those terminals of ECU connector A. That's where the problem likely lies.

A bad ignition switch would NOT cause the problem you are having.

Less than 100 Ohms. Do you know how to do a continuity to body ground test?

Disconnect the battery. Unplug ECU connector A. Set the multimeter to measure resistance (20 or 200 Ohm scale) or continuity. Touch one meter probe to the metal frame under the dash and the other meter probe to one of the four indicated ECU terminals.
