Tach?  Bypass?

Did you connect the Tach wire to the F.I.?  Is there a Tach Learning procedure that must be done?

Did you connect all the wires on the XK06 as per the PKG7 diagram?  Did it program properly to the MAXX ( Page 3 Section c )?

Soldering is fun!

Some remote start units require a specific Tach Learn procedure to teach the remote starter what to look for and what represents a running engine.  So besides connecting the Tach wire, you must do something to allow the remote starter to learn the vehicles' Tach signal.  Here is the procedure for a Compustar CM6200 remote starter ( example only,  your system will be different ) :

Learn tach by: (1.) Starting the vehicle with the key, (2.) Press and hold the foot brake, then (3.) Activate the

remote start sequence - one chirp and parking light flash indicates that the vehicle tach signal has been
successfully learned. Three chirps and three parking light flashes indicate that the control module failed to
see a proper tachometer signal.

Did this XK06 w/PKG7 programming happen correctly?  This procedure allows the bypass to learn the Passlock2 / immobilizer signals.

1) Connect module , LED turns on for 2 seconds, then goes off.

2) Press and hold the programming button, LED comes on.
3) Start vehicle by key, LED will flash 3 times.
4) Release program button. Module is programmed.

Soldering is fun!

How many cylinders?
One for each on top of cylinder heads on fuel rail.
Two wires to each, one colour common to ALL.
You need ANY ONE of the uncommon colours.
Test as follows.
Set DMM to 20VAC not DC.
Then black probe to ground, red probe to suspect wire you should get a reading of 3-5VAC, increasing slightly if you rev up.
All you need to do now is to go back to your original install guide and see what it says about programming tach.
Now you see why we are loathe to get involved with these "unknown" brands.

there is ONLY 1 injector i can get to without pulling intake off and it has 2 wires one pink one brown... could i connect to that brown wire or it would have to be different injector?

The brown, pink is the common colour don't use.
Test: Pink should go to 12VDC with ignition on.
