You sure hit the nail on the head and I can't thank you enough for the web site. I read all of the comments and complaints before I left for Car Pro's. Long story short the problem was the passlock system which was confirmed by the diagnostics code. There doesn't seem to be an easy solution but there are several ways to circumvent the problem. When I arrived at Car Pro's I turned off the ignition and the tech tried to start it - it wouldn't.
You Formites are THE BEST and thank you for all your help. The guys at Car Prs' offered to come to my house and help me if I had anymore problems with it not starting. Unbelievable and remarkable in this day and age. Thanks all.

i paid 300.00 for a tow the 1st time it would not start then learned about this passlock defect, if the mechanics disconnected the battery.. the computer resets and the car will start again..
