Is there a technical diagram of the immobilizer?
Basically I'm assuming that if the logic strings don't match up between the immobilizer and the key then the immobilizer sends a signal to various parts of the car preventing them from operating. I would like to take my multimeter and test if I'm getting an electrical signal from my immobilizer, (or perhaps even a lack of signal that SHOULD be there) thus preventing the car from starting. The immobilizer is complex, but it's not magic; I should be able to test it myself with a multimeter, I just don't know what or where I need to test on it.
Thank you.

You're going to spend a shot ton of money if you don't embrace the KISS philosophy. I'd be checking (troubleshooting) the simple... easy things first. You wanting to dive headfirst into the DME... brain... whatever is a little lofty.
Since the car isn't starting... I'm hoping, for you, a code is resident and you'll pull it. Keep us apprised.
