Need some help with Wiring for a FC

I have a 88 TII and need some help with some wiring. I have a 2 way alarm system that i think is giving me problems. I'm not sure of what brand it is, but i know there is a safety feature for anti theft that cuts of fuel to the engine so it won't run, and i think thats giving me the problems with starting. i know it's not the starter or plugs, because it cranks, and it will turn over when i spray ether in it. I'm pretty sure that they have it hooked up to the fuel injectors, but don't know where to start. Any one have suggestions? should i just take my dash off to start??

Also, I took out the alarm system completely and it wouldn't start after that at, and it started up before, so i put it back in but i'm stuck now.

Fuel kill is very very unusual, and most shops will not install it.

What makes you think that there is a fuel kill?

And you didn't take out the alarm system completely if there is still a fuel kill. If there is still a aftermarket fuel kill, you left a relay in the system that shouldn't be there.

Either that, or you have some other issue

well, when i took off the system, i just pulled it off, cut wires and unhooked some. it wouldn't work after that. it started up before i took it out, but now it won't. i hooked it back up, with new wires and i think there is still something loose. i took of the dash and there are three wire not connected. 2 seems like there are cut and one seems to have been loose and fell off from some where. the wire are right by the firewall.

I live in OC but i the car is in hemit. the guy i bought it from is lookin at it right now.

I found out what was wrong. there was a loose relay behind the dash, when i cranked it and wouldn't start, i would tap on it and it would start right up! Thanks for your input and your offers to help. I hope thats the only thing thats wrong with it.
