viper 791 in 98 civic /problems

i am attempting to install a viper 791 into a 98civic with factory door locks and no keyless entry. this is my first alarm install so i have been using the directions i found here. http://causeforalarm.thecarthing.com/version6/stealth_alarm/ek_civic/index.html i am not hooking up the remote start or any of that since my car is manual. i decided to test everything before i made the final installation since my mounting point is damn hard to get to should anything to go wrong. i haven't added any kill switches in...yet. i decided to test first then add them later, if possible. the setup: i connected everything for a test run. i am substituting an AU94t instead of the stock factory shock sensor. my 2nd sensor is the dei tilt sensor. i depinned the following: h1/1 - RED / white - chan2 validity out h1/6 - violet - + door trigger h1/9 - BLACK/ white - domelight supervision h1/10 - WHITE/ blue - remote start not using H2 or anything of the remote start on H3 the only thing i left was the grey hood pin wire. the problem: so everything is connected as it should be and i connected the battery rolled down a window closed the doors/hood/trunk to test. i get power to the alarm. i get 12v back to my tilt sensor. i get ~5v to the antenna. the alarm doesn't arm when i press the lock button. the display shows the rx icon every so often but beeps at me 4 times if press anything. the LED doesn't come on for the alarm either. i cycled the key on/off a few times that did nothing. i tried disconnecting the antenna as mentioned on a thread in here and reconnecting it after a few minuets. that had no effect. the questions: 1 whats going on? i hope i provided enough info to help troubleshoot. 2 on the writeup i followed it mentions tapping the ignition wire for a true ignition source. i didn't see anything in the 791 install manual that said i needed to do this if i am not putting in the remote start or a kill switch. do i need to do this, and where should i wire it to on the brain if i do? thanks for you help
