    Finally figured it out with the help of everyone's advise. I checked all the fuses but there was one that I most of over looked. After replacing the main relay, ecu and ignitor I realized that the harness for the main relay only had one wire with 12v. I found a bad fuse under the dash that powered the main relay and tested the harness, after installing the new fuse I was getting power from multiple cables with the ignition on. At that point I plugged in my original main relay and the ecu warning light would finally turn off after a few second and the car crank up with the original ECU and ignitor.
    I feel like dork because I checked all fuses 3 times and could have had this car running two months ago, but you learn from mistakes some times and you guys have been very helpful.
    Thanks again for posting,

    Yeah I am having this problenm now well I thought it was the main relay and it was'nt so I had to keep my hand on the key and keep it in the on position for it to stay on. But the minute I took it off it turned off on me so I am hoping this is what it is?
