Car had a remote starter put in to bypass the anti-theft system. Don't know what the problem is had the starter removed and a resister put on. Car will crank but it won;t fire.

Hello Lorine Robinson

The factory system is integrated into the body control module (BCM) and powertrain control module (PCM), and it is designed to prevent the vehicle from starting if someone attempts to start the engine without the key or try to bypass the starter.
Factory-installed anti-theft system is complicated to disable. Remember, these systems are designed to thwart auto theft, so if they could be easily disabled or bypassed, auto thieves would do so. There are always ways to get around an anti-theft system, but most are too time-consuming or expensive or complicated for the average do-it-yourselfer to attempt. Besides, if we told you the secrets of how to bypass your anti-theft system, we'd be giving the keys to your car to anybody who might want to steal it.
If the anti-theft system is an aftermarket system, and you have the installation manual or instructions that came with it, you could find all the places where it is spliced into the wiring and disconnect the system. Or, you could take it back to the installer and ask them to remove it or replace it with a new system.
