I hard wired the tach:
TACH this is the light blue wire I found in a wire loom to the driver's side of the injector harnesses
showed: +12v DC with engine off (yes DC!)
+14v DC with engine running (yes DC!)
+ 0.4v AC @ 1000 rpm
+ 0.9v AC @ 2000 rpm
+ 1.4v AC @ 3000 rpm
+ 2.0v AC @ 4000 rpm
The car sounds like it was over cranking when in tach mode. Remember this is only on starts after the car hasn't been started recently. It cranks normally if I remote start after a long cranks remote start, program tach learning, or have recently started the car by hand. However it will crank long for a remote start after 20-30 minutes.
I'm not sure why it says MT mode must use tach learning. Perhaps it's so the remote starter will shut off if the car is started in gear by some accidental measure?
I switched to voltage checking with a set crank time, and I currently have it set up in AT mode. I set the crank time to about 1 second or less. It's remote starting perfectly now. Ideally I'd like to have it with tach learning/checking though.
Based on my multimeter readings above does it seem me I have an accurate tach wire? It shows an increase in voltage when revved. I wasn't sure if the voltage is supposed to be higher, but I've read it can be anywhere from 1 - 6.0 volts.
I my contact bulldog next regarding tach learning and programming for further suggestions.

Here is another place to obtain a Tach signal as listed by DEI :

Tachometer      lt. green, tan, blue, or red  (ac) @ fuel injector harness on driver side of engine

It might be worth a try to see if the Deluxe 500 likes that signal better.  Check it first with a DMM to see if it is any

stronger of a signal.

Contacting Bulldog Security is also another good source of info.  At this time of year the wait time should be

minimal.  honda fit 2011 bulldog remote starter - Page 3 -- posted image.
