viper 5701, 1997 honda civic

It shouldn't need it but, it can't hurt. DIODES ARE FUN! WEE!

NEXT PROBLEM! So finally I got the whole thing hooked up. Door locks, alarm, parking lights, horn, they all work.... But the remote start doesn't. I checked the diagnostics and I get 7 flashes from the parking lights: 7 flashes - Manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized. I know it's not the clutch, hood pin, trunk & door trigger, or the e-brake they are wired properly. I tried starting the car with the key, and it cranks, but it will not run. Heh, this stuff never ends... Looks like I'll be making another 4 mile walk to work in the snow again.

I tried again today, and I've come to two possibilities why the car will crank but not run. - Battery is drained slightly from being unplugged in 10 degree weather. - Something is lose or unplugged and I can't find it. Power is going to all key positions and everything works; radio, climate control, etc. I hope it's the battery and I need a jump.

If it cranks, it's not the battery. You can try charging the electrical system but, I would suggest you look at the ignition system. You should check for spark. If you get spark, then your looking at timing or FUEL FEED, as in a frozen fuel line or a non-functioning fuel pump(electrical or mechanical).

if it cranks with the key but does not run, then check ur ignition wire, for current while the key is on and during cranking, make sure ur harness is in properly on the switch, if all is well post back for the next possible troubleshoot.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

I finally got it to start once it got to about 20 degrees today! The fuel feed was a little bit frozen. So everything is almost done, and technically I could keep it as is, but I'd like to get this system working properly. Currently I can only get the car to remote start in Automatice mode... In manual mode I get the same diagnostics message, "7 flashes - Manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized." Also I noticed the Tach Learning procedure does not work: 1. start vehicle with the key 2. with 5 seconds press and hold Valet/Program switch. 3. after 3 seconds the LED will light constant when the tach signal is learned. 4. release Valet/Program switch. I do not get the LED light to turn on constant on step three, nothing happens. I also tried the Tach Threshold On/Off switch, but that does not work either... Any ideas?

Alright, I checked the tach wire again and found out I tied into the incorrect blue wire. After making the switch, I got everything to function properly, manual remote start and all. So with this, I think it's safe to say I have no more issues or questions. THANK YOU ALL FOR HELP ME OUT! ESPECIALLY LONERANGER!

Add some FUEL-DRY, while filling the tank up. Run the vehicle for ~15 minutes. You have water in your tank or worse, a possible leaky fuel line or joint.Ideal - cmon dude, add to topics in a useful manner, not stuff that is obvious.

Story - Phzzzt! Hey, what happened?! ... Isn't it obvious?

Moral - Never dismiss the obvious.

So I have two new issues that didn't show up until I drove the car around long enough to notice. Thankfully they are small issues. Rear defroster: I'm pretty sure I wired it incorrectly. The viper system wont turn on the rear defroster or even by manual commands through my remote. Parking Brake: While driving, my parking brake light turns on at random times, so I'm assuming I need to place a diode somewhere on the line. I'm not sure where. Here is a schematic of what I think the wiring should be... Here are the manufacture schematics: - Rear Defroster Diagram - Parking Brake Diagram

anybody? :\
