98 GT - Wont Start?

I have a 98 GT that has ran great, but it will not start today. You can hear the starter clicking, but it sounds as if it doesnt even engage the flywheel. The motor does not even try to turn over. There is not a fuel problem, I took of the scharader and we are getting fuel when cranking over. I do not know at this point what to try.

Here is a little background to help diagnose the problem.

I installed a zex nitrous kit last week, but never have used it. I wired it up and all of the kit works. I do not think that has anything to do with the problem.

I installed a Pioneer CD player a few days ago and it seemed to work fine, but I installed an amp and subs today and after I started to crank it over it worked fine for a bit then the CD player was losing power speratically. It would come back then kick off. I removed the fuse from the power wire for the amp and tried it again, the car still wouldnt kick over but the CD player seemed fine.

Now the CD player will not come on at all. I am going to check the fuses but any other suggestions.

The starting problem could have just been a coincidence or it could have been because of a fuse being blown by shorting out a wire, or who knows.

Any ideas would be helpful

Thanks

Battery is dead.

It may be low, but all lights, alarm, etc all still work.

I am wondering if maybe the alarm somehow has a starter kill that is on. I am not sure how those work though. The alarm was on it before I got it.

No blown fuses.

I checked the codes on my SCT, and it had an error code P1260, theft engine disable.

I cleared the code, I am going to charge the battery and see if she fires.

Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks for the replies, I will be going tomorrow to get a new battery. Hopefully that will fix it.

I will let you guys know.

Well she is alive and well, the battery was in fact bad. I bought an optima red top and she cranked right over.

I am going to recheck everything I wired up to see if it was grounding.
