I have a Spy LC113 car alarm/ remote start and the wiring diagram says to hook up a wire to an immobilizer bypass but doesn't say anything else about it. Where should i hook up this wire? What is an immobilizer bypass (fuel cut-out?). Please help i gotta finish soon!!
An immobilizer bypass is an electrical circuit which allows current to flow to whatever component is starved of current to keep the engine from running (usually the coil). The immobilizer opens the circuit to the coil, the immobilizer bypass closes the circuit to the coil.
If you didn't install an immobilizer circuit, then you don't need the bypass. There are probably instructions you missed in the manual explaining the immobilizer circuit.
"So i don't think i need one if i don't have a chip in my key. Am i right?!"
I'm assuming you have a button to push on your remote key which disables the vehicle -- is this correct?
"Will i still be able to start it from the remote (it has a hijacking function- is that when the bypass is used?)"
The bypass function is used to allow you to start the engine. I assume the hijacking function disables the engine -- and I think you are saying you have that hijacking function on your remote key.
Is this button on a remote which came with the system you just installed, or is it on a remote key which came with the car?
Going to get some sleep. Check you tomorrow.

"How does the alarm start the car?"
The only way it can start it is to put 12 volts across the starter relay/solenoid.
"I was told that i only need a immobilizer bypass if i have a factory alarm"
You only need an immobilizer bypass if you have an immobilizer circuit. This bypass would presumably be present only if it has a factory alarm or if you installed one as part of the kit.
"the engine cut-out circuit is where i wire in a relay to the 12v going to the coil."
The engine cutout would be the immobilizer circuit -- the relay would be connected to bypass that circuit (provide circuit/current to the coil) when the relay is energized
"the start sensing wire can be hooked up to anything that has 12v once started".
I assume this is called a high-voltage sensor for good reason -- it needs a high voltage field before it will function properly.
Therefore, I would say the high voltage sensor needs to be wrapped around a high voltage wire -- if it's not high voltage, it won't "sense". I would try one of the spark plug wires, if you can't hook it up as described in the installation manual

Will i still be able to start it from the remote (it has a hijacking function- is that when the bypass is used?) The manual is written in the worst English ever!! It only mentioned the bypass once on the diagram.

Yeah i have a button to disable it, Do i have to hook the bypass between the coil and distributor?
i also have a start sensing wire. it says to wrap it around the high-voltage igniter. I dont think i can do that on a civic. Do i have any other options? (hook up to tach/ something w/voltage when engine starts)
I don't have a factory alarm this is an aftermarket unit
(no remote key)
The hijacking function will turn the vehicle off 20 seconds after i push the button
Thank you for all your help. I think one answer will help me understand
all of this... How does the alarm start the car? Grounds the starter
and tells the car the key in ON? I was told that i only need a
immobilizer bypass if i have a factory alarm and the engine cut-out
circuit is where i wire in a relay to the 12v going to the coil. And
the start sensing wire can be hooked up to anything that has 12v once
started. That you again
My immobilizer touch key has broken and due to this i cant start my car is there anyway i can bypass this problem
