OK so i figured this out, had to take it to the dealership, and they said it was the immobilizer receiver unit that needed replaced. My question now is whether or not they will have to re-program after the part is installed or if i just replace the part and not have anything else to do.
they told me that they would have to re-flash it, but have found stuff online saying that they may not have to do that.
reason im asking is so i can do the re-pair my self without being charged labor.
thoughts?

SOLVED!
After 15min of install and $75 saved in labor, the car started right up!! the receiver looks something like this. The computer did NOT need re-flashed which was a plus as well!
here is a picture of what the part looks like:

thanks for all the help in helping me narrow it down!
