Hey JWorm - yes the car starts (so it is cranking correctly) then runs for about 2 seconds and dies - I can try to learn it in gear to get the absolute lowest RPMs possible - is there anything else you can think of?  And yes, the instrument panel behaves just like if I were to jump in with the key and start the car

Okay, now it just won't relearn the tach (blinks 3 times to indicate not a good tach) so I'm assuming the injector wire just isn't sending a very strong signal - has anybody used alternator sensing on this car or any car?  Does it send a better signal, from what I remember it needs 1-5 volts to be considered a good enough signal for the CompuStar - any ideas anybody?

Again, do not use alternator wire for your tach sense. Under steering column you'll find a bundle (not too many) of wires that goes to your cluster, you can test it using DMM (set your meter to AC). The one that response while you are pressing & depressing the gas pedal will be your tach wire. This way you wont need to ran a wire out to engine bay.

Let's go back to square 1, how's the 556U bypass connected? You should use the ring, direct wire doesn't work all the time or to some vehicle.

I used a PKH34 - I sent you a PM, the car seems to be working now but I'm not 100% confident until it gets cold out to test it in the cold...

Hoping that your RS is working properly by now...

It's not the bypass module. I had the same problems on the 06/07 Civic's when using the injector or the coil. You have to use alternator sense from the remote starter and grab the stator wire at the alternator plug. This worked for 5+ Civic's that I've done and none have come back when the temp goes below -30 C

Velocity - thank you - I agree its not the bypass because when the car has been driven, it will R/S with NO issues, only if its been sitting for a few hours will it start to cause problems (like this morning) - can you tell me the wire color/location (I'm well aware where the alternator is) but there are several plugs that goes into it, the easiest to reach is the black plug with 3 red wires right at the top - thanks for your input, it appears using alternator as a tach sense is a touchy issue, some people like it some people disagree, if you've had success with it, I may just give it a shot because I'm running out of ideas of how to trouble shoot it...
