Battery starts the car, alternator keeps it running.

Does the car crank at all or even make a click when you try to start? If not the two first things I would check are the clutch start switch (the clutch has 2 switches, you want the one mounted to the firewall) and the stock alarm; lock the doors with the keys, make sure the "Security LED" lights up, wait one minute and unlock the door with the key.... might try unlocking via the pass door or the hatch as the switches tend to go bad when they're this old.
