Immobilizer issues?
So I just finished my long and tiring drivetrain swap. Got it all buttoned up and full of fluids today and go to start it and it starts right away but then dies immediately. After doing some research and ruling out some of the basics (fuel pump relay, loose battery connections, vacuum leaks) it sounds like it could be the immobilizer? The Jeep in question has the grey key and it suffered an engine fire and I had to swap everything including the wiring harness and PCM from my donor car. From what I have gathered online, it seems that if you try to swap a different PCM in without disabling the immobilizer it will send a fault code to the pcm that was swapped in. Is all hope lost? Can I fully remove the SKIM system and install a new PCM? Can I have the stealership reprogram a PCM so that it works with my current key?

Update: When starting the car, the immobilizer light comes on and stays on after the car dies. It does not flash. Just trying to provide as much info as possible.

No engine light on dash I suspect it's the immobilizer and just krank and no fuel I guess, I want to bypass the immobilizer

Can't bypass it. Or at least not any easy way.
As far as I know, you can't. It's a pain if it plays up. |

A dealer can program a new key, a Locksmith could possibly program a new key or replace the PCM and ignition. There is no "simple" bypass of the immobilizer.
