93 celica remote starter

i am installing an alarm/remote starter into my 93 celica. its a manual tranny and I KNOW THE RISK! but i want it anyway. i never leave it in gear when i park. when i remote start the car it starts up, and then shuts off after about 15 secs...? any ideas?

did you grab the tach wire?  which remote start are you using?

shouldnt be any risk if you are using a model specifically desgned for a manual trannyKevin Gerry

sounds like it is till expecting to read a tach signal.   it's possible that the default setting of this unit is for tach-connected mode....there should be programming options to bring it to tach-less mode. upon having selected this mode, you should disconnect whatever you've connected to the tach sensing wire, and start your car with the key and let it run for around 30 seconds. there should be some form of indication through parking lights, led lights, or siren/horn to indicate that the unit has learned to ignition sense. also, the primary ignition wire of this unit must be connected to primary ignition of your celica and not anything else like accessory or heater. good luck!

If the system is in TL and you have it attached to an injector wire, there's the problem. You have to set it to learn a tach signal first and get the system out of tachless mode.Jeff
