 I finished installing a Compustar 1WFM remote start/alarm yesterday on a 93 Mustang 5.0 5 speed, was showing a buddy that stopped over how it worked with a manual trans and everything worked just as advertised, but now the car will not remote start or go into continuous run mode, alarm works and i can put it into reserve mode, pull keys out and exit car, shut door and motor stops, but when i hit start button for 2 seconds siren chirps once but thats it, no cranking or fuel pump turn on, worked great yesterday though, any help would be appreciated

if that is the Case, i say it's the hood pin.. My first compustar was like that.. worked fine in the garage, however  when the car moved a bit the hood pin wasn't touching correctly and caused me days of grief.. try this simple test un hook the contact for the hood pin and see if it remote starts of the next day or two..

Just my two cents.

 I'm not using a hood pin as it is a manual trans, won't start unless in bypass mode, and i do all my own service on the car, alarm and keyless entry work all the time, I exit the car in reservation mode every day when i arrive at work, car will sometimes start, others the alarm will chirp one time but no start, starting to wish i didn't go with compustar as they don't seem to catre to the shade tree installer,

try to put it on reservation mode again and try to remote start w/ hood, door, trunk closed and you out of the car.
are you trying to RS w/o setting the reseveration mode for every RS?
1 reserve mode = 1 RS
the compustar may not state that but thats how the 2wss-as that i putted on a friend's car seems to work that way.

 Every afternoon when i get to work i pull into my parking spot, remove foot from brake and then pull parking brake lever, remove key from ignition and motor always stays on until i exit and close the door, door pin kills the motor and i go into work, at the end of my shift when i get close to the car i hold the key/stop button for 2 seconds and hear the one chirp from unit, somenights she fires and sometimes nothing but i always get a chirp,
