This is going to be a long story. One of my friends and I installed and Aladdin A-2000 alarm on my 01 4.3 automatic sonoma. I also hooked up the bypass for the passlock II (universal bypass from pepboys). Well the truck kept starting by itself. I disconnected the battery till I had time this weekend to fool with it. As I connected the battery on friday, the positive cable sparked. Since then i have had all kinds of problems with the truck. First i didnt have any problems with it. Then the truck acted like it didnt want to shift from second into third. When i found this out i was on the interstate and at 60mph it was doing approx. 3200rpms. I stopped in a parking lot and checked every fuse to see if one wasnt blown, and all were fine. When i started the truck again, it shifted fine, but all the gauges started going crazy (all lights clicked on and off, fuel speedo and rpm gauge would cut out and come back on). Got home and disconnected the battery till Saturday morning. Got up Saturday morning and everything started fine. Pulled out of my driveway and when it shifted from first into second, it slammed into second, and wouldnt shift to third. Also it seems to be cutting my power. I have to get it to about 1500 to 2000 rpm to start rolling. Went home and disconnected the alarm "brain" and drove it. Everything ran fine. Went home reconnect the alarm, reprogrammed it, and it didnt act up till saturday night. It would shift and didnt have any power again. Went thru today and checked the connections and found the main power wire for the alarm a little loose. Hooked it up right, and everything was running fine. Got all the dash put back together, and took it for a drive, and it wont shift and no power again.
Any ideas on what it is? At first i thought i might have fried the alarm, but all the fuctions work (shock sensor, remote start, arm and disarm, etc). It isnt a loose connection, because i went thru and checked each one today. Has anybody else have any problems similiar to this? Any ideas are welcome. I am about to throw the f*#@in thing in the street.

My first thought would be that you didn't hook up all of the ignition wires. Is the truck only messing up when you use the remote start and then drive or all of the time?

Sounds like you have multiple problems, the first being a possible faulty ground. Check your ground connection. Another problem sounds like your alarm is not reading the pos brke shutdown wire. The r\s sequence should IMMEDIATELY shut down when the brake pedal is depressed. Check your brake cnx. Lastly, sounds like you forgot to tap into the second ign wire(the white wire in the harness with the pink, red, orange, and brown wires). If this wire is not powered during the r\s sequence your truck will not shift properly or at all. Make all the above mods, recheck ALL other wiring, reprogram the tach(if applicable), and most importantly. . .don't throw away sh#@ you paid for  .
