Yes the computer needs to be active to operate the injectors and throttle body.Would the computer need to be active? Seems like the only thing it would need is enough juice to recognize the fob. It already recognizes the fob without being in what would be considered the accessory/ignition position (clutch depressed). Otherwise it'll get juice as soon as it's forced to fire. The ignition wouldn't be necessary if I understand correctly how roll starting works.
I would think if you can get it rolling and force it to start with the clutch that would override any other requirements, including the fob, unless it's got some sort of circuitry that would kill the motor immediately, but forcing it to turn and spark I don't think would be able to be stopped.
The ignition needs to be in ON mode (press start button without pressing down clutch on manual).
No you need the fob for the engine immobilizers to work which controls the injectors and other stuff. If you can just bump start the car without the key, a lot of mustangs would be stolen.
