The car will not start. And for some types of interlock this will be reported to probation.

If your talking about failing while its attached to your car - you should know the answer to that - the immediate result is that your car won't start and you'd have to disable certain parts of the interlock and then hot wire the car to to get it going. Of course, if you did that you're going to have more problems than merely failing the test. If you are concerned about what happens after that, you'll most likely lose your limited driving privilege unless you can prove the failure was the result of something other than your consumption of alcohol - which will be exceptionally difficult to do.

You could revoked and put in jail or the Judge could take your driving privileges away.

Your probation or bond can be revoked and you can be kept from driving for whatever period of time is relevant.

My understanding is that you will not be able to drive the car and that the fail is not reported to the Court or DMV.
