alarms love to do that...but check to make sure everything is connected and look at where your motor harness connects to the dash harness and make sure its all connected.also make sure your lower body harness is all connected, (3 on alternator,2 on starter) and check your fuses.

weird... take off your dash and check the ignition wires taht go to the lock.

get a wring diagram and get familiar.

you'll track it down, worst case scenario replace sections of harness. with new harness from other cars.

Do you have your engine grounded to the chassis? I had the same issue, I put on 2 ground wires from engine to the body, problem went away. Also you can check your ignition harness in your steering column.
