After reflashing the MS it seems to want to start now but still wont. I checked all the solder joints and found no problems.
I still get no RPM in the gauge pod but I get it on MS. Where does the tech get its signal from?
Here is a pic of the spark plugs. These are NEW plugs.
2&3 are coated in carbon
1 has fuel on it
4 has fuel and carbon

So RPM indication in MegaTune, but no dash tach, means that either the MS is not outputting ignition signals or that there is a problem with the igniter.

I never flashed the MS while in the car till this morning. It all started while tuning and I had a bad write and changed a lot of settings in MS. One setting that was changed was the spark inversion.

That could very well have done it, particularly if you sat with the MS on but the engine not running for any length of time. Spark inverted out = on would have caused the spark outputs to be driven high at rest, causing the primaries to conduct continuously. Why Mitsubishi didn't beef up the igniter such that it was capable of dealing with continuous dissipation is beyond me, but this does seem to hurt them.
