many things will cause no start problems could have faulty ignition switch.use test light see if power going to starter if not check ignition fuse to starter.if power going to starter, more likely starter solenoid or starter faulty.if ignition fuse okay and starter and solenoid okay still no start problem could be in the ignition switch or inhibitor switch faulty.code scan for faulty theft security system which will also cause no start conditions.

When you removed the alarm unit you cut the line to the Starter kill switch that was installed. Remove the starter kill switch which is most likely located under the dash spliced into the ignition wiring harness.

My 1988 Firebird won't start. The starter engages, engine turns, but won't start. I've replaced the ignition module under the distributor cap, gave it a tune up [ cap, rotor,plugs ]. Checked...

Could try the crank sensor, that is where I would start. Next would be the timing & compression.

I'm probably stating the obvious but I presume you've cleaned and checked all the wire connections. If you haven't yet done so, it might be a good time to install the hot-start relay kit that AutoAtlanta sells for these cars. That may solve the problem and will prevent the future non-starts when the engine is hot. Also, ask the same question on the 914 Club or World forum and you'll get some real expert advice.
