Definitely an alarm problem, that was causing your starting issues. Did the alarm unit under your driver's seat get wet recently?

could be your battery. when they get old they sulfate the plates on the bottom and sort of short out. so if you don't get the proper voltage the car will not start. or what Wayne said. open the front trunk and try a new battery.
