Hi, I have been recently having a problem with my remote starter. It's been working fine for probably 6 months but now when I go to start my car the engine turns on and then turns off right away. I checked the manual and there are 5 reasons why it would do that. 1. Press and release the programmed channel of your keychain transmitter two times within 2 seconds. 2. Depress the brake pedal. 3. Open the hood. 4. Move the red handled control switch to the off position. 5. Race the engine to above 4000 RPM. I'm not doing any of these things so why is the engine turning off immediately? Is there anything else I could do to make it stay on? Thanks Drew

If your system is installed in the tachless configuration, you may experience starting problems in cold weather. For some vehicles, this configuration works fine but in others it can be problematic in the cold. The procedure you described is for tach learning. This procedure only works if the tach wire is connected and the module is programmed for tach sensing. You should have the shop that installed the system check and correct the problem.
If you are mechanically inclined and comfortable with working with the automotive electrical systems, you can attempt to make the connections and programming yourself.
The installation manual can be downloaded from here.
You want to connect the green/orange wire to the vehicle's tach source. You did not mention what year, make and model vehicle you have so I am not able to tell you what wire you need to interface. Once the connection is made, you will need to follow the procedure on page 4 of the manual for bank 3 option 5. You want to set it to tachometer input checking mode. See page 22 for the tach learning procedure, once the system learns the tach signal, your system should function properly.
