Thanks, Justin. Factory alarm that was always on the fritz, as seems the issue with most factory F-body alarms.

All the electrical things made me really believe that it was an ECU. I'm pissed it wasn't 'cause I had a good deal on this ECU if it did fix the problem.

Speaking of ECU's, does anyone know how long it takes for a replacement ECU to idle well on a new car? i.e. does it have to go through a couple warm up cycles, or just one idle and it'll learn?
