I started the car ran great. Follow week it did not, I charge the battery and on alarm. Very thing works. Can I start it by push start without the alarm on?

If the alarm system has been tripped it will turn off the fuel system so even push starting will not work. It is most likely a result of the low battery that tripped it. You can try a reset and see if it turns off, that should be in the owners manual or you can try one of these:
