This leads me to believe it's not the SKREEM Module or the RCM, but I don't know what it could be. I appreciate any suggestions.
That it turns over three times could be a Skreem issue. That's exactly how the immobilizer system works. But you have definitiv also a other problem, because the car wouldn't start for a second.
To exclude the Skreem module you could buy a test kit from my Skreemulator from Rudy, he then also programs the ECU to match with the Skreemulator.
Or you can send it to Needwings or SOS Diagnostic to have it checked and possibly repaired, if you want to go original.
