Default car wont fire up! start problems with MFI

been fine for the last few nights! no running problems, yeasterday i went and sorted my alarm out on the car, removed the wire in the boot. Now the lights went all funny on the rear, then they started to work again fine.

Now the car turns but wont fire, i have the HTleads on correct, i also have a spark on all 4 cylinders, 1week old plugs,

i just wont fire up... im not sure if its anything todo with the fact of the starta motor or not? Because that aint brill..

if you have played with alarm then wont start then i would re trace whatever you have dont to alarm and go from there if you aint sure what you have done then try putting a permanent live to your fuel pump eg wire from +on battery to + on fuel pump, if it then starts then you know it is something to do with alarm, however dont drive it like this as it will overfuel and probably kill your engine!!

if the car is turning over it wont be the starter motor.
When you switch on the ignition does the fuel pump prime?
