crank time not long enough

I just installed a Ready Remote Remote Start Unit (#24921) on an '07 Honda Pilot.  Everything works great, except that it only cranks for 1 second at most.  I think it may not be cranking to its full capabilities, because it seems like it should crank longer. The car needs a bit more to get it started. I read the manual and it states that if it cranks for 1-2 seconds, and stops, check the wiring because the ignition/accessory wires are connected in reverse, or you have the wrong ignition circuit.  Well the wiring is connected properly (unless the diagram is wrong) and there is only one ignition circuit. Plus, it barely cranks for 1 second, that may be stretching it.  I am using voltage sense, so I thought possibly using tach sense may do the trick, but the manual also says that the vehicle would start, but die after 10 seconds if voltage mode wasn't working.

So, I was wondering if there's a way to manually "tell" it to crank longer, since this unit isn't programmable according to the installation guide. Or, is the consensus that I should in fact hook up the tach sense and see if that does the trick. Or is there something else I'm overlooking?

Thanks

A couple of things to check.

Ensure you have a good connection to ground.  Double check for a good connection to IGN1.  Did you attach to both ACC1 and ACC2?

Which engine immobilizer bypass are you using?  Is it hooked up correctly and did it program OK?

Switching over to Tach Mode is easy enough.  The Tach signal is a Blue wire in a Light Green 10 pin plug at the fuse box.  Then follow the manual to learn the tach signal.

Okay, those will be some thigns that I'll check out next time I get to work on the car (it belongs to my former boss's wife, so I don't have access to it all the time). With the bypass ring, I didn't know it had to be tight around the cylinder. I placed it around, then used tape to secure it to the cylinder, but I never cinched it up to close the loop any. Just for info, why is that necessary?

Also, what could be bad in the bypass, other than receiving a faulty unit? The key sits inside the loop in the box just fine, and I made sure the key started the vehicle before installing the whole thing.

Thanks for all of the help.

On the Bulldog 791 Bypass Unit there should be a red light.  If it looks like the bypass is the problem using the above mentioned Green Key light on dash, try disconnecting the 791 bypass and  remote starting with a key in the ignition (but not turned).

The 791 only needs 3 wires connected.  The Blue wire will go to the 24921's H1/1 Blue (-) Status Out.  The 791 Red wire goes to a constant +12v ( one of the heavy Red relay wires at the 24921) and the 791's orange wire goes to ground (H1/5 Black wire).  Check the little white antenna lead to make sure its on the pins properly and then make sure the loop is in the correct area of the IGN switch.

The problem was with the bypass loop not being tight enough around the key cylinder. I cinched it up and it works - intermittently.  It works about 97% of the time.  Just once in a great while it won't start and it acts like the bypass is faulty (partial crank and then nothing). I told my boss to keep an eye on it and let me know if it acts up any more.

Thanks for the help.
