Ok. All of your time in explaining worked. The alarm and remote start are working great EXCEPT....(I knew there'd be a catch) The remote start works, but shuts down after about 5 seconds of runing. Tach wire? I took the tach signal form an injector wire, not grn. (middle innjector on the firewall side of the engine). Is it possible that a tach signal from the engine needs to be taken from more than one point?

Thanks again to all those who have helped before, I feel so much batter about this, just need to get more installs under my belt. I tried getting a job at both Circuit City and Best buy for experience, but they want people with prior experience. The other local, small shops are either run by cokeheads or just too slow in business to bring a new person inn. Any ideas? HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Dear Beginner- I was doing that same car yesterday, and the info you got from the other guys worked perfectly ! That's a tough car- too many extras for a good job. ours took about two hours. You'll surely find the members of this forum to be a great group !

Keep trying on your new career, there's nothing more rewarding (or sometimes-frustrating!) I've been in the biz for 20 years, and worked for small shops, manufacturers and chain stores. I currently have my own shop in NY. It's tough for us small guys, there's always cash flow issues that make it tough to take on new people. I just started a new guy from scratch, and he's doing great !

Keep doing what you can to gain experience- you're not afraid of that Sebring, that's good ! Hook up with a local shop if you can, and just help out. You might start by doing errands or cleanup, but believe me- we all need the extra help and that will go a long way to making contacts and learning some "trade secrets" Good luck to you ! Steve

Hey, thanks Victor. Yeah, I was really amazed at the complexity of the cars electrical system... Readout in the odometer when the lid is open... can't "grinnd" the starter. Did your install include a remote start? What source did you use?

The tach learning mode on the unit was not programmed correctly or the tach signal that you are using is not strong enough or "dirty" ( not clean and full of garbage ). Try another injector wire ( uncommon colored one ) and relearn the tach signal.
