    Hey guys second post on the site and idk how youd class it but I'll just put it in the newb questions... Just had my engine replaced at a different shop in town then where I had the car at first and I drove home last night just fine. Now this morning my car will not turn over and I cant put it in neutral to have it towed back to the shop since the ass end of the car is facing the street in my driveway. Anyway I never knew I had an alarm installed on this car its a 1998 pontiac grand prix sedan with a 3.8l v6. the alarm went off after I had tried starting it just now. anyway to fix the issue quick. Cant seem to find anything in the search bar on here.

    No key fob?

    Have a valet key??

    Is the battery dead or just nothing happens?

    Sorry been away for the weekend, yeah the anti-theft system I never knew I actually had, kicked in only cause its not sensing the car is in park. lol and yeah ffdp no key fob. I didn't get one with the car when I bought it and now since I've found out that it probably used to have one, I'm gonna look into getting one. For the first time in the 2 years I've had her, I have never seen my lights flash like they do when i lock my doors at the store.

    Runs like a f***ing champ though for a completely stock engine.
