The way it is giving you three tries and then nothing (until you disconnect and reconnect the battery) is a routine built into the SKREEM/ECM that tells you that the ECM is not being told it is OK to start.

This means the SKREEM is not telling the ECM to start.

This is either a bad SKREEM, or a bad RFID in your key or a bad 'antenna ring' around the key.

Unfortunately, this is not easy to diagnose. If you have not messed with the key and lost the RFID chip, it is almost certainly the SKREEM module. You can get one of those from Rob at Needswings for around $700.
