you need to put that back in... reconnect your original wires and then start checking things... you will need 12v + at the accessory point (first stop when turning the key, fires up the radio and such) at the next key positionthat should be the ignition system (fires the coil(s) up.. you need 12v at thatt wiire.. Then you need 12v at the cranking position (ONLY WHEN CRANKING!) look at your auto starter and just connnect the corresponding wires.. It's a bit of messing around, but it's the old way of doing things...with 4 wires... it should be12v+ all the time on one.. accy 12v, ign 12v and 12v at crank... when the vehicle is running all the wires exept the starter wire should have 12v on them....

yes exactly, look at the remote starter, either the manual or sometimes, the back of the unit will have a wireing diagram just write down whatt you find when you probe the ign switch and what wire on the car coorresponds to what position on the ign switch, then look at the diagram on the remote start, and match them up... My guess is brown to 12v constant, yellow to ign, brown to accy, blue to starter.. like I said, thats a guess Im not framiliar with your remote starter brand...
