Have you tried opening the key fob up and cleaning the metal contacts on the PCB and the buttons with alcohol? I have had to do that a few times on my car, but mainly because I would just have to press really hard on the buttons for it to unlock. It's worth a shot though either way.
dude Cobras are bad *** rides man, you know I know that because I almost bought one...and I've rolled a boosted ride for nearly 2 years but you have put alot of dough into your Vette and you need take your time and get it figured out...

You might need to "train" your key fob. I had to after having my batery disconnected to insatll headers.
1. Turn ignition key to the on position.
2. Clear any warning messages on the (DIC) by pressing the RESET button.
3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times until the blank page is displayed, then press and hold the reset button for two seconds.
4. When the message FOB TRAINING is displayed, push the RESET button once. The message HOLD LK+UNLK 1ST FOB will be displayed.
5. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously for 15 seconds.
6. When a transmitter is learned, the DIC will display FOB LEARNED and then prompt you to learn the next transmitter.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the second FOB.
8. Remove the key from the ignition.
The programming mode will shut off if:
You don't program any transmitters for two minutes
You take the key out of the igition.
You have programed three transmitters.
I had to do this several times before it worked for me.
Good luck!
Edit out the airpump from your PCM, otherwise you will get check engine light and codes. Found this info on C5 corvette forum, tech section. Search for removing air pump.

I'll give the learn instructions above a try in the morning.........however, did I mention that every time I reset the fob it would be okay for a day or so? Then it wouldn't work. Kinda like the fob and the car forget they are linked and have to be relinked "so to speak".
Thanks for the post!

If you are unable to get the key FOB to re-train I would take it to a dealer and ask for help.

Robert you having any car issues? I got under the car and checked all the 02 sensor wires and all are in good shape. None of them are melted! Ellis mentioned on the phone that there might be bad fuel in it. However, the last time I filled up was with Robert and he filled his Z up at the same station. Robert, You having any problems?
I bought some fuel cleaner cleaner and I'm gonna fill up with some 92/93 from the shell next door and add the additive I bought tommorow before I go see Ellis. Should I baby the car when I put the additive in or should I open it up to try and blow the crap through?
