What does it mean when you try to turn on your car, but does not start and after playing with the car for a little while the alarm went off I stopped the alarm and tried to turn on the car and it went dead again, what's going on?

What do you mean by playing around, what did you check and do? Do you have access to a code reader for set faults in the ECU, not all faults will set a check light.

Either the battery is weak or the connections are poor. Have the battery tested and clean and retighten the terminals if necessary.
