Remote start shuts off after start, help

Hi All, during this spring break, I though I played around with my college car a bit. I bought an LCD remote start called made by KCJS off ebay. I know its cheap stuff, but my car is old and this is just for fun. The problem is that the car would starts up and then shut off after 2 or 3 seconds. The diagram for installation is also weird. Instead of cutting the starter wire for the starter relay, it says to cut off the ON , i assumed the ignition coil. I'm having a bit of a problem, if anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. My car is honda accord 88. If anyone knows the wire diagram, please let me know. I can draw out the manual installation manual for guidance if anyone has time to help . Thanks a million.

Sorry the spelling errors , I was in a hurry.

were you measuring the tach in AC volts? It should be a blue wire at a 2 pin plug at the distributor.J Rilla

Hi, thanks for the reply. I didn't measured it in AC volt, but using the 9V battery tester. Can this work? I have the multimeter from craftsman, which AC specify area should I used? Also, have you guys ever heard of a starter relay cutting off the ignition coil, instead of the starter wire? Does this makes any sense?

If you've got the $115 alarm/remotestart/pager setup sold by kcjs, then it does not have a tach input. You instead connect the "tach wire" to the alternator charge indicator bulb on the dash. And yes, for liability reasons it is very uncommon to find a car alarm in the US market with an output that will kill the ignition & fuel delvivery systems. But you can also use that output to drive a starter kill relay instead.

Thanks the diagram. So this car doesn't have Air Condition wire? That's odd, just Accessories. The alarm I got is the 67is? dollars, not the 2 way pager. It has an starter sensing input, so I assumed its the tach cable. Question : You mentioned there's a trunk release cable, If I were to connect this to the alarm, since it has a trunk release function, will it work? Or do I need buy an optional junk release kit?

The blue/white wire in the ignition switch harness powers the blower motor, the yellow/black powers the blend door. The wire for the alternator charge indicator is WHITE/ blue. To make sure that we're talking about the same unit, what's the fcc id # stamped onto the back of the remote.
