Can i disable my factory alarm? It cutoff my Fuel!
Well i think i was hit with the factory alarm glitch recall i suppose...when i try to start the car it wont start and the red alarm light led stays on while im trying to start it..so i suppose my alarm cutoff my fuel...is there anyway besides going to the dealer to bypass this? i mean any way! i dont want to shell out the 150+ for them to reset a alarm they should reset for free...

Bumping a thread from 2004 is a good way to get banned. OP is an immobilizer issue. 99 is the only 4th gen with immobilizer, and you have a 97. Post your own thread with a descriptive title and you will recieve more help, in this thread you will only be flamed.

Yes, I know this thread is from '04, but if another n00b finds this, they need to be set straight.
Your options at this point are:
1. Use another key
2. SOL - Have another key made
The NATS is only responsible for recognizing your key and activating the fuel pump, your key fob, hood, door lock alarm will still work without it.
To by pass this, read what I wrote above, there are MANY ways to get around it.
Not going to help at all.
Again, not going to help at all.
False, it kills the fuel pump, the starter has NOTHING to do with the alarm, the starter circuit is extremely simple and all you need for it to work is a working battery, and a working wire harness and relays. NOTHING ELSE, when I say nothing else, I MEAN IT.
That's not a trick to anything, it's just one of those things you happen to do while the problem is being solved elsewhere.
Sometimes the Nats can misread an old key and immobilize your car, at this point in time just take your key out and re-insert it.
Correct!
A 99 will not, correct

o well i have changed the spark plugs...... battery.... and even the sensor that tells the cpu that the hood is closed because the white thing was missing....... still nothing..... car is still sitting.....
what i noticed is the red security light will blink until i try to turn the key in the ignition... then it will shut off.....but soon as i take it out it will blink again......
i would love all the help i can get right now

I would think you can put your car into the on position a for a a second or two you can hear your fuel pump, then it stops. That should tell you I would think.

Correct. Turn the ignition to ON, and make sure you have no stereo blaring or anything, you should hear a whine lasting a second or two. That's the fuel pump working, getting ready for the start.
