Help!help! Alarm Gone Nuts!

[madmoomoo]

Hi peoples,

Has anyone got any ideas about what could be going on with my alarm - The other day, I changed my spark plugs and pretty much ran out of time, so I left the car in the drive. Then the next day, when I went to drive it, the car started ok, then I noticed a funny clicking thing that sounded a bit like a relay clicking over continuously. I sourced the noise to the alarm box (felt the vibrations). I had a look while the car was running, and my first thought was that the sensor that detects movement was funny, because when the ticking was happening, the red LED on the sensor was flashing in sync. I unscrewed the sensor from to see if there was a dial for sensitivity, but there wasn't. (I thought the sensitivity was right up and the vibrations from the car was triggering it).

Anyway, After about a minute of the engine running and the stupid clicking, the alarm triggers (while the engine is on!!!) and cuts the ignition!! This happened a few times and I'm bloody stumped as to what could be the cause!

Obviously I have to get it sorted asap, so if anyone has ANY ideas it would be muchly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, I hope!

alarm is by Brant. I have found a wire coming off the coil pack wiring and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it. It's a small black wire (4 inches or so long) with a metal "O" on the end. I would think that it is supposed to be grounded, but I"m not sure. I don't remember what I did with it last time - I presume i ignored it, but maybe it was touching the metal somewhere so was ok.??

The wire comes off just before the first plug (near cyllinder 1?) and I'm a bit stuck with it.

When I had the car running before, this wire was sticking out the back and some sparks came out somewhere. so i very quickly turned the engine off!

if anyone knows what I'm supposed to be doing with this wire, I could really use some help.

thanks.
