Yes put your 4 digit pin into the alarm keypad. on a 98 should be in the glovebox

you need your 4 digit code, if your stuck by the side of the road i doubt you have it in your car.
Check to make sure your not near an electrical pylon or a phone mast. they knock the signal for the standard subaru alarms

You only get 30 seconds after blipping the remote to start the car before the engine is immobilised again, you should have a keypad in the glovebox...and a card in your owners manual folder with the PIN on it to use if the fob fails...

I had this on a classic once, because of mobile phone towers, lift the bonnet, put the fob under the steering column plastic, as far up as you can then press the fob.

Tried it without lifting the bonnet and it didnt work, lifting the bonnet seems to provide some kind of shielding for the interference.
