2004 Mitsubishi Galant, remote start

Grab the injector wire instead of the PINK/BLACK wire. This is a 1 cylinder signal and works with all remote starts that I do. The injector wire will be the uncommon color wire at the injector. Sounds like the tach is not learning properly if your not getting the proper light flashes after you attempt the learn procedure.Jeff

Well according to the picture that says it's the tach wire, it also says "Tach Wire Pink/Black Set at 1 cyl." Isn't this wire good enough too? Plus I tried the odd colored fuel injector wire and the remote start would not start at all. The led diagnostic read that there is no tach signal.

I've done a few of these vehicles and used the injector wire and didn't have any problems. I used a Compustar unit ( 1WAM-S ) though. Do you have an alternator sensing wire that you can use instead of the tach wire input ?Jeff

No. Well it doesn't list that in the installation manual as being an alternate or available wire. I will try the odd fuel injection wire again tomorrow. Thanks for all you help though; I really appreciate it.

You know what, I saw that listed somewhere, but it also said it was a single connector. I couldn't find a white wire in the engine relay box. All the wires run under the realy box and I can't tell which one is a single connector at that. I'll try and check later on today to see if I can see it.

I finally got it!!! I actually gave up 3 weeks ago, then I read something while I was looking for a new starter/alarm, thinking the one I got was defective or something. I was using a 1 cyl tach wire, but the auto learn didn't work for me. I was then trying to set it manually using the 5-6 cyl setting because my car is a 6 cyl. I didn't know that the diff't cylinders were for the tach reading and not the actual # of cyl. my car has (DOOOH!!!!!). So since the tach reading was coming from a 1 cyl reading, I set it to manually read that, and it started and disengaged the starter fine. So to tell others, and I think this would be right in saying, if you are getting the signal from 1 cyl and auto learn doesn't seem to work, set the 1 cyl. manually and see what happens. If I'm wrong here, please correct it. I want to thank you guys here that helped me. Don't worry; I'm not done connecting everything, so you'll here from me soon.
