Hi. To stop this you need to power up the car and activate the ignition. If the battery voltage gets too low when the alarm is armered then the alarm thinks you have disconnected the battery in a theft attempt and the siren activates. The easiest repair is to repalce the battery or repair any currnet draw issues.

SOURCE: anti theft system

I'll assume you used the remote here (like most of us do) to arm the alarm. Try turning the key in the door lock - turn it to lock the car (which arms the alarm), and then unlock it (which should disarm it). Do this a couple of times if need be, and it should disarm and allow you to start the car.

Why wont my alarm reset in my 1998 chevy blazer the security system is killing the fuel and i cant get it to run it starts and dies imeaditly

I don't think the anti-theft is the problem.
On GM vehicles, the anti-theft system will not allow the engine to crank, or get fuel or spark. If it cranks, you have a different problem.

Car cranks but wont start after sitting 3 months

Sometimes if it set too long the gas went bad. You may have to drain the gas and the put fresh gas in.

My 1995 chrysler lebaron starts and dies. runs great on eather but wont squirt gas into the motor. fuel pump works great injectors open when key is on and then close and wont reopen.

You might also want to check to see if you vehicle has an anti theft function i have the 95 lebaron and if the anti theft is activated it starts runs for a few second and dies. if battey dies or is replaced i have to go to the passenger door and put in the key and turn it 4-5 times then it starts and runs so try this first.
