Why is it that in the last 2 weeks, sometimes the car starter works and sometimes it doesn't?? It cant be the battery cuz it shows a green light PLUS I tried using my 2nd one (extra remote) and I have the same problem, only starts once in a while. Help??

The problem sounds like it is how the starter works. It starts and afte a few seconds it does a system check to see if the car started and if works right it will continue to leave the car on and if not it trys 2 more times to start and stay on. Most techs use voltage sense or a virtual tach signal to do the system check. I have found that the best way to have the starter work and stay on is by hooking up the tach signal and making sure the options are set for system check ON and Tach signal check on.
