When you start engine alarm starts and wont turn off?

There are a few potential reasons why an alarm might start when you start your engine and won't turn off. Here are a few things to check:

1. Check the car's security system. If your car has a security system, it may be triggered when you start the engine. This is typically because the system doesn't recognize you as the authorized driver. To disable the security system, you may need to enter a code or use a key fob.

2. Check the oil level. A low oil level can cause the engine to make a knocking noise, which can trigger the alarm. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.

3. Check the coolant level. If the coolant level is low, the engine can overheat, which can also trigger the alarm. Check the coolant level and add coolant if necessary.

4. Check the belts and hoses. A loose or broken belt or hose can cause a noise that could trigger the alarm. Check all of the belts and hoses and tighten or replace any that are loose or damaged.

5. Check the car's electrical system. A short circuit or other electrical problem could cause the alarm to go off. If you're not comfortable working on your car's electrical system, you should take it to a mechanic to have it checked out.

If you've checked all of these things and the alarm is still going off, you should take your car to a mechanic to have it diagnosed.
