Bobby, not to be an *** or anything but if you want help, it makes it a LOT easier on us if you punctuate and make complete sentences. I tried to read your post but everything just kind of melted together into one long sentence.

So it will crank and fire sometimes. If you shut it off and try to start it again immediately, it won't start? But if you wait a while and then try to start it, it will start? It also had a Viper alarm that you ripped out?

 

Lol Sorry but i am starting to go nuts with this car.
it will fire like 5 or six times then when i hit the key again i get no response but plenty of juice.this is what i checked so far.
there is juice running to the dist. starter alt and everything else in the engine,pulled out thee nutral saftey harness,and pulled out the key switch.

i have not gone to the car yet but i bet when i get to it she will crank then die out again
