It's hard to say what the problem is, but the first thing I would check is batt. power, the alarm "chirping" when you try and start it may be an indication of a low batt., you say the alarm has ign. kill, but it sounds more like a starter kill.

If the problem is a low batt. the draw when you try and start the car latches the alarm brain because of low voltage and it may engage a starter kill, or there is just not enough power to turn over the motor.

If the batt. power is good, use a jumper wire to jump from the batt. terminal on the starter/motor/solenoid to the solenoid "trigger" terminal, [large gauge terminal to the smaller gauge terminal, make sure car is not in gear and E brake is on and have ign. in the run position, if car starts, you have a malfunctioning alarm, starter cut relay, starter relay, clutch interlock switch, [manual transmission] or ign. switch. 94

The alarm was latched up, you rebooted it by unplugging and plugging it back in. 94
