I've got 1996 running with resister ,the vats would not let it start but with this resister across ignition circuit it starts ,resister reading 4.71 ohms can you tell what # key blank that fits [1-15] ?I'm thinking #11 that value is 4570 but the decimal point there I'm confused , thanks

Engineering/design is 4750 with min/max 4560/4960 I believe. Move your decimals!! Did you have a correct key #11 that read that value at column base? Any number of possible issues.
