I bought a SPY TWO WAY CAR ALARM REMOTE ENGINE START to intall in a 03 malibu i installed it almost everything works except the remote starter it cranks but dont start . And yes i installed a bypass for the passlock II . any body knows what i might missed .

First replaced the batteries, you may find a CR2032 in there easy to replace then try before blaming any other components

Installations of this nature are usually reserved for professionals. However, get out your installation manual. You will also need two single pulse double throw relays and some diodes. First you will need to locate the ground when running.This wire might be labeled " (-) third ignition". The first relay for the starter will be wired like so: starter wire to 86, fused 12 volts to 87, 30 out to vehicle second starter wire, 85 to ground when running. The second relay will be wired 86 to vehicle ignition, 87 to fused 12 volt, 30 out to second ignition, and 85 to ground when running.

what brand is alarm? hood pin IS required,ground hood pin lead try to remote start

Maybe the installer did not hook up the remote starter unit to disarm the factory security system upon entry or remote-starting. Ask the installer to double check that part of the install as it would cause the factory security to trigger even though you unlocked the vehicle with the remote start unit remote.

You need to adjust the tachometer sensing wire, it usually wraps around a spark plug wire so I can sense when the car starts. On my spy alarm, the wire was grey. Hope this helps.

i hav same problem chaged battery noticed battery holder was loose so i soldered it very carefully everything works fine xcept remote start alarm just goes off like when you push the panic button not sure what happened dont think i shorted out the circuit board in the fob if engine light is on this car wont start via remote these remotes must b progamed by dealer or pro shop prob using what they call a tech II computer to remote start you hav to press lock button 1st even if car is already locked i figured this out pess and hold lock button then press start alarm dont ring and the car starts.

put key in ignition switch leave in the off position, press the remote starter, if your car starts it is the transponder system it may need to be adjusted

go to a dealer

I have same problem with Malibu 2003,use the remote to lock the car then unlock it and start the car again.if this won't work probably it's the theft alarm stopping the engine from starting
