Help with IR sensor

Hi I have a BS2 and I am trying to control a separate circuit using the Ir sensor and LED. I am giving the Ir sensor approximately 3v - according to the manual the sensor needs .5-7v - and for now I am trying to get a LED to flash with the signal that I get form the IR sensor. But the problem that I have is that I can not get it working and I am using a transistor because I will be needing it latter, but the transistor is getting more power from the environment that the IR sensor, so I can not check if it is getting any signals right now.

    Circuit diagram and code would be helpful.
