Yes the immobilizer is built in but into Alarm instead of ECU. Meanwhile there is a seperate module for the captor.
Chip on the key is called transponder and yes the transponder required to send responding signal to transmitter (small black rectangular box next to key hole) when you switch to ACC. If you open up your key, you can see the transponder did not wired to the remote module as it place just next to it. As suggest by Spiroth you may stick the transponder on the transmitter but the location must be correct.
I suggest you to start your engine via normal practice by using key to ensure it's working before you move on to wired up the keyless startup, also ensure the key u use is without 2nd transponder.

The only module can prevent your car from starting is the alarm and captor, which both will eventually cut off the power supply to ECU to prevent it from starting. If any thing goes wrong usually resetting the alarm should be able to clear off.

The pump will spoilt if we're frequently running very very low (nearly to empty) on our fuel tank as the pump gets very hot, thus that reduce the lifespan of the pump.
The possibility of fuel pump problem is there as it fails to provide sufficient pressure to the fuel regulator. But other than that, the fuel regulator may cause the problem as well. I remember earlier Sphiroth faced jerking problem during cruising and he solved that by installing Adjustable Fuel Regulator, he could be having the same problem like you but his running with MT, so not noticeable in rpm dipping when engage gear.
If you have a generous friend that can borrow his standard fuel regulator for you to troubleshoot then it will be good.
Thanks alot for the sharing....
I don't know where to start from
But will try to monitor all these.....
Actually, my car is experiencing a few minor issues here and there.
The other issue would be my brakes. It is producing screeching sound.
Normally this kinda sound can only be heard if we brake...but mine, it happens the opposite situation.
The screeching sound can be heard when my car is moving in a slow pace. When i brake, the sound is gone. Am I right to say the problem lies in the brake pads?
I have raised this issue during my service and they claim they have fixed it. But the sound came back after a day's drive. I saw what they did. They just took the air gun and blew off all the brake dust. That's it. But I don't think this is the issue. Right?
