Default New guy, new 2005 limited - 2 second starts!

Hello! Just purchased a 2005 Crossfire Limited in very good condition with 75k miles(see my new member thread!). The car has been sitting at least 5 months. With a jumper, the engine starts - but dies after 2 seconds. I installed a new battery and pulled the RCM and, although it looked good, resoldered the infamous 3 "suspect" connectors. Car again starts for 2 seconds and dies. Someone suggested that the key fob has a bad anti-theft chip in it, but my locksmith confirmed that the fob only locks/unlocks - no chip. I've ordered a new Smith RCM and will install upon arrival. BUT - any other ideas as to my 2 second starts? Thanks for any help - I'm anxious to put this jewel back on the road!
