Remote start all a sudden wont start car! Someone Please help!
Hey guys have a Viper 791 XV. Installed a while back and never has any issues. last night before i was leving, i pushed the remote start: It attempted to start car, meaning it turned over but just before actually kicking in to complete start, it stops and my car ends up not starting. I have done nothing whatsoever to anything that may have caused this. I had just recently started maybe 1 hour earlier and no problem. The weather is nice not cold out down here in Fort Lauderdale and in fact when i regular start the car with key, it starts right up with no hesitation. It almost seems like the alarm could use a little more time turning over perhaps half second. Can someone here help????????? Please i use the feature all the time. Its not under warranty because i had the guy come over my house since its a manual drive. I am assuming the larm unit has a *** of such kind that i can increase the amount of "engine to turn over" in order to get it to start. anyone with knowlege please help thanks RX
Also i will say that i have changed no settings or anything like that to the alarm or anything on the as a matter of fact cause it worked minutes to an hour before. its worked for 2 years on my G35 flawlessly and all of a sudden last night it just didnt start the car. I was thinking it at first it was the "service turn off switch" just in case the mechanics hit the buttons and takes off on them (its a manual G35) but when i flipped the switch it just would allow the start engine to initiate so thats not it, i also tried pushing in the clutch prior to engine start attempt thinking it was the wire leading to the clutch and nothing. Lastly i'm now thinking it could be a fuse just for the remote sart but i really have no idea where that would be. I am positive someone here can help me. thanks again RX

The start unit is SUPPOSED to be conneccted to a "tach" wire that reflects engine RPM. If the unit is not cranking long enough, it's either because the tach wire is the wrong one, the tach programming needs to be repeated, or it was not used at all by a lazy/underpaid installer and was set to a timer mode, which is not always appropriate.
If that loser put a remote start in a manual, that doesn't mean that his work isn't warrantied against failures. Get him to fix it.

Now when you say Tach proggramming having to be repeated well then maybe i guess. how do i do that? and is there a way to have the starte crank LONGER to get it to start? The timer mode, i have no idea
Also, when i try to remote start it and off course it doesnt work, and i immediately disengage the remote starte (because it will reattempt to start the car)and then immediatelytry to start the car WITH MY KEY, well it just keeps turning over for ever but doesnt start. what i have to do is pull the key out for at least 6-8 seconds thern retry the key and starts up instantly
this is strange. there has to be a quick solution here.
How do i try tach programming? thanks again RX

You should've had to use an extra key for the remote start. the extra key goes inside the bypass unit and the loop comes from the bypass and around the ignition, tricking it into thinking a key is in the ignition.
