---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: It was the engine computer. and she got it from a junk yard.

Answer
well u now caused more damage then good  

U will need a brand new computer that does not have the alarm system already programed into it. The PCM u installed is looking for the alarm system that U dont have  so it will never start up.

then U will need to still fix the codes that will come back in the tranny computer what ever those codes are.
