Car Alarms: I have a 94 toyota camery..., toyota camery, true culprit


Question
I have a 94 toyota camery with an after market  viper alarm installed - the fuel kill portion of the alarm is activating intermitently,(with the alarm on or off) and causes the car to stall/fail to start.  If I wait 30 min it will start. Can I disable this portion of the alarm system?

Answer
The thing is that the alarm only has a starter kill output.
This has nothing to do with the fuel system. Starter kill uses a relay to seperate the starter wire from getting
power when the alarm is armed only. This would react
with nothing at all, No responce from the engine would be heard whatsoever. No clicking, no nothing when you turned
the key in the ignition. Just dead.
From your description, your vehicle, specifically the
power distribution,is getting intermittent. I would
look at the alternator, starter, and battery first here.
The alarm is most likely NOT causing the effect you
are experiencing.

Go over these items and have a mechanic check them out.
If it's determined then to be the alarm, remove the main plugin harness to it, removing it from the mix, and see
if he's right, or I am.

If it persists, then it is not
the alarm. Best way to test it really is to discount
all the veriables until youi find the true culprit.

Good luck with it.
