Angry Viper Alarm HELP!!!

Well guys, i have a HUGE problem. many things have gone wrong with my installation. First, my car won't start with remote start, it cranks, but won't start. even with the clutch by passed. 2nd, after the alarm goes off, it won't reset. meaning when i turn the car on the blue LED light is still flashing and when i lock my doors with me sitting in the car, while the car is off.. i move around trying to set the alarm off it won't go off. PLEASE someone help.

Your only and best bet is to bring it to a professional since you're dealing with a lot of important wires and your car's security. Remove it asap.

well do you know of any good professionals that do a good job? plus, a professional won't do it because it's a manual car. it's illegal in the state of california to have remote start on a manual car.

What year is your car? If it's an '06+ you have the immobilizer in the key and remote start would require a bypass module. Without this you'll get the crank-no start.

if it doesnt reset, its probably hooked up to wrong ignition wire(alarm resets when the key is turned to ignition'on' mode), double check the yellow wire and make sure its on the ignition. maybe yellow and red was reversed. radio uses yellow as constant and alarms use red as constant.

as for your car cranking but not starting, did you program the tach? or set it up as crank time or voltage sense.

you need to increase the sensitivity of the shock sensor if its separate from the brain. you have to secure it in a place where it would receive proper shock, like for instance a wire group.

the alarm wont necessarily go off if theres a movement... try arming the alarm and not too hard, tap on the windshield pillar up and down... dont hit it too hard, but there are "pressure points" that will set the alarm off...
