I am assuming at this point that I must have a transponder problem, or some kind of immobilizer or ECU problem that I can't see.

I'm towing in Thursday morning, so if anyone has any last minute thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Sounds like it could be an immobilizer.

How about the starter itself? Does the car click when you turn the key?
