What's the fuel pressure? If you don't know, you need to test it first. I seriously doubt your PCM went bad unless the car was flooded or something.

Address your security light issues first. It's not gonna start with that going on.

Good point...mine was messing up like that when the little computer chip in the key was worn out....try a different key and see if it's the same.
