Odd problem with start Ok I have a 99 Trans am and after a heads, intake/tb and tune I have a crank no start, when i turn the key to the on position all i get is solid blinkers and security light goes on and off. SO since it cranks it cant be VATS but get this if i plug the odb-2 scanner tool in i get all lights and car will start. I'm lost of what the problem could be, seems like a ground but i have no clue. can anyone HELP.
Things I checked, Ignition and starter Relay, grounds and battery is fully charged.

I have some clues now, there was ( still is) an aftermarket alarm system on the car and I think the kill switch is killing things. I'm going to take all of it out and see if it works.
