The links lining up with the dots are for installation, but If you rotate the crank enough and or are lucky they will all line up again at TDC eventually???!! I know how to set TDC so I skip some of this stuff, but put a dowel, long screw driver or whatever in the number 1 spark plug hole, watch the screw driver when the TDC mark come up the screw driver will stop moving up, TDC. Most of the time we work from compression stroke, but master TDC first and you'll be able to hear when it's compression stroke.

I've seen your harness, and I would definitely have that repaired, before I switch ecu's and look for other issues. just saying
Have any friends with sr's, do a harness swap or lay your harness on top of theirs, rule out the harness and ecu whatever way is the cheapest. Feel me.
