Okay so my dad took my car to the mechanic this morning to get a transmission leak checked out (I was sleeping, had no idea). Apparently he forgot about the fact that he had to put my car in valet mode and the mechanics worked on it, letting the alarm go off a few times. Then I guess when they lowered it the car just wouldn't start (system was still armed I'm guessing) and I'm worried that the installed starter-kill was triggered. I went to go see it after my dad woke me up with 10 missed calls and the car is cranking, but won't turn. There's no spark, and the I had the mechanics check everything (the coil, the plugs etc etc) and we couldn't find anything.
So my question is, does anyone know how to bypass a starter-kill? Is it at all easy to do or am I going to be forced to tow it to the nearest CompuSTAR dealer (its 40 minutes away)? Also my battery is now dead so I'll have to jump it anyway lol.
Extra info: the car is 2000 auto LS, CompuSTAR 2W900FMR system installed w/ remote start, and the only work the mechanics did before it stopped working was clean out the engine bay with degreaser and a regular garden hose.
Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!
