The car turns over but doesn't fire unless I disconnect the battery and it resets. What do I need to do? Can I keep it reset? Does have something to do with the alarm module immobilizer? I gave a friend a jump yesterday and that's when the trouble began. Thanks for any and all assistance.

Kind Regards,

Eddie
