i am installing a remote starter on a 95 crown vict and iam having trouble with the tach wire holdin up. for some reason when i complete the install the car cranks up fine (via remote starter) but a couple of trys later i will crank it up ( viia remote start) but it will not recognize the tach wire and shut down and try to crank up again. i know i have the right wire for tach iam no rookie at installin r/s. could any one help me with this one? have anyone ever install a R/S on a 95 or similar crown vict?

What wire did you use? What model is the remote start unit?

i used the wire from ignition coil/ distributor coil, tan/green. and the remote module is a carvox setup like viper. has a purple and white tach wire. i have used this unit muti of times so i know it by hart and is a good unit. i even changed out the brain and replaced it with a new one and it did the same thing so i know its something from the car causin the issue

Audiovox shows a Tan / YELLOW wire as the tach wire of your vehicle. It is located on the ICM Ignition Control Module.

If you got that info from a site that you trust, it is probably correct. It is logical for an 8 cylinder vehicle to have 4 coils. Audiovox lists only one of the four. I know some remote start units have adjustments for the tach voltage. Have you checked for this in the manual?
