Tried to start the car to go home from work, It tried but didn't catch (many times). The next day, started drove it home. Following day tried to start, sounds to me like low idle, hubby said no. Keeps trying to start, sounds like it will, then doesn't. Two weeks later... charged battery, switched around some fuses and replaced ground wire tied to the block to the negative terminal on the battery. Tried to start. The dash lights come on but won't start. Car says "service immobilizer"

How long has your 2004 Chrysler Pacifica had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Immobilizer is the current concern, but has nothing to do with the starting and running concern you had before.
The Immobilizer system is what communicates with keys for the vehicle to ensure a properly programmed key is used to start the vehicle. If there is any chance a key is not authentic to the vehicle, use a different known good key. If all else fails, testing on the immobilizer system and possibly cutting and programming two fresh keys from scratch is needed.
