Only during those specific times? Thats very... "unique"!

I had a problem with my alarm going off intermittently once before, turned out that the bonnet switch is a bit iffy. Maybe check that the switch is properly engage.

It will either be a bonnet or door switch, iv seen the boomer switches rub on after market intakes as earth out out causing the alarm to go off. You can check which sensor is at fault by flipping the little switches on the alarm modual. Wouldn't recommend doing that if you don't know what your doing
