My car came with a Viper alarm with the remote start and earlier when i started the car up using the remote, it wouldn't start. It would turnover, but then will die shortly after as if there isn't enough gas. I tried putting in the key, but then it won't even turn over. It'll just click. I'm thinking its the starter for sure, but when I use the remote to turn it on, the engine turns over, but then dies shortly. I have no clue whats the problem. HELP!

It wouldnt make sense that the remote starter would start your car while the key wouldnt if it was a simple problem like a starter going bad. It sounds like you have a few issues actually, one causing the ignition(key) not to work, and another causing your car not to want to run.

Make sure you have a fresh charge on your battery and try the key again.

Yeah it wasn't the starter after all. The little clicking noise comes from somewhere near the battery. I was thinking the fuse box? With the ignition coil? I'm not sure how to solve this problem, but I need to get it fixed before Monday for sure.
