Car Cranks but wont fire

Hey guys. im stumped. I went out to get grab some grub and tired to start my car with my newly installed remote smart. Car cranked but would not fire. So i jumped in and tried starting it by hand, same deal. It sounds different when its trying to start too. The fuel pump kicks on and everything but it just sounds like the coils arnt getting and juice.

I didnt know if i should post it here of in the Electronic section. Figured i get more hits here. When i wired in the second ignition on the viper i was first told i would need a relay. Then i was told i wasnt by another org member. So what i did was tap the Second ignition from the brain to the second ignition wire from the cars ignition. Pink/white on the viper into the green/black on the keyside. I did NOT use a relay. could this have shorted something out? both 30a fuses on the brain are fine.

Now i drove the car this morning starting it with both the key and the remote. That is the only thing that has changed with my car recently.

I may copy this over into the electronic forum as some of the wiz's over there dont travel this way much.

Thanks everyone

Sean

Does the cars stock second ignition wire have a relay on it? Where can i find a fuse(if it has one) for the 2nd ignition?

If you need ANY input, I'm 99% sure it's cause of installing the remote start, it's not a car problem. Undo everything you did by installing the remote start (replace anything you modified) and try manual start. If that works then figure out what you broke the first time...

Once again this is just to give you any input at all. This is coming from a complete car nub.
