Viper Auto Start Alarm System.

[X-Runner]

It can, yes. If its not programed right.

[James777]

if it was programmed incorrectly, (too long of a crank duration) you would wear or break teeth on your flywheel, causing the starter to spin freely occasionally depending on the position of the flywheel when you cut the car off. since that's not what it's doing, that's probably not the cause of your problem. when the battery went dead, the starter kill could prevent the car from starting, but since you have a bad starter, it's impossible to say which it is. you need to replace the starter first, then if it won't start jump the purple and green 10 gauge wires together to bypass the starter kill on the viper system. the viper system may just need reprogramming after that.
