You hit the nail on the head HapaHaole!

Ryan welcome to FT86! I recently went through a similar issue with my BRZ which has the push button start, not the traditional cylinder lock on the steering column. My friend at a local Subaru dealership narrowed it down to this part:

Subaru part#: 88801CA041
SMT MAIN ECU ASSY - Keyless Access Control Unit

We also replaced the immobilizer and key to be on the safe side. All of which needed to be reprogrammed (the immobilizer/key and the keyless access control unit). Do you plan on keeping he FA20 or swapping engines? Be sure to check the fuses, battery, and of course the fluids (oil, brake, trans, etc,.) to make sure they are not contaminated with water/soiled. Keep us posted.
