Your key wouldn't have a resistor in it. The Passlock system will not keep the engine from turning over and even if the Passlock was bad the engine would start then die. Sounds like to me that since you can bypass the ignition switch and spin the engine over then it is probably the ignition switch. When you jumped out the starter did you have the key on? You might also want to check the connector at the bottom of the steering column. Make sure that your battery is good and fully charged.
