5701 VIPER 5701 2-WAY ALARM w/REMOTE START Logo
Posted on Mar 01, 2009

The vehicle starts , but immediately dies.

I have an 84' Chevy k10. The remote start worked fine until I installed an MSD 6a ignition box. Is the remote start missing a single or something?

My 84 chevy slverado won't start. It was starting fine until someone changed the plugs today and now it wont start

double check the wires and make sure the firing order did not get mixed up. This can cause a no start, the vehicle will sound like it wants to go but just floods instead. Good Luck

Your alarm may have lost the tach signal, that was learned to it, when it was originally installed. That would cause the remote start to try starting the vehicle over and over again, until it finally stays running, because it can't read the engine speed to know it's running.
If you can find the valet push button switch in your vehicle, try this; Start your car with the key and immediately after it starts, press and hold that valet push button switch until the alarm led on the dash stays lit up or the park lights flash. Then, release the valet switch, shut the car off and try remote starting it. That is the procedure to re-learn the tach signal. Hope it works for you.

The remote start system has been improperly installed. This is a common occurrence for the vehicle that you have. To correct the problem, you need to make sure that the vehicle's primary ignition (pink), ignition #2 (orange) and ignition #3 (white) wires are connected to separate ignition sources from the remote starter. This may require the addition of relays depending on the number of high current ignition outputs available from the remote start module.
If you have the model #25622 remote start installed than you need 2 extra relays. The relay terminals need to be wired as follows:

30 = to vehicle extra ignition wire
87 = to 12V constant source (fused at 20A)
87a = no connection
86 = to r/s module thick green wire
85 = to chassis ground

Both relays need to be wired the same way.

Car starts but dies as soon as you put it in gear

if you start the car with the remote start you can not put the car in gear until the key is inserted into the ignition and turned to the on position. the vehicle will just die if this is not done.
