    Is bad alarm system causes the major starting problem?
    For the first time in 2 or years, the engine turned over
    the first time I turned the key. I did not wait for car to cool down.
    It started right on first since I discovered the electrical problem on
    alarm system. But I don't know if this is the only problem. IN the
    past, I suspected the problem on starter, main relay, bad ignition,
    batter, distributor and/or battery. I replaced battery and main relay.
    3 days ago was a worst starting trouble I had, to wait for 3 hr to
    start the car. Then next day, I discovered a electrical problem on
    alarm system. I want to remove the whole alarm system including all the
    wires. I don't know how.
    The problem of alarm also seems to cause other problem.
    The amplifier is receiving sometimes a less current that output is
    weaker than a normal I suspect this is caused by the electrical
    problem on Alarm system.

  2. Sounds like it doesn't crank. This is probably due to the alarm relay
    installed on the vehicle. Either bypass the alarm's relay or
    disconnect the alarm fuse. Most alarm manufactures allow the car
    to return to it's normal state when the alarm's fuse is removed. This
    allows you to diagnose the problem based on factory procedures.
