1990 zr 1 corvette, remote start

Having problems with a DEI Remote Start. Anyone done one of these cars. The car is a manual transmission. The alarm was installed by a local Best Buy, now its here to get the remote start to work. The car is hard to start even with the key. Is it possible to bypass the gm vatts totally, what i mean is to do away with the system for good. Sorry this might be confusing but im very frustrated.mexicang

yea, measure the resistance of the vats wires with a DMM set to ohms, (make sure to zero meter out first) and dont touch the wires, can mess with reistance, and splice in resistors that match up.  Cut the starter wire, so the car wont start during reading.  that way, you can hold the key in crank a lil longer to get good reading. 

you can just splice the resistor inline, but it will make the vats ineffective. you can relay isolate it, so that it will only work during remote start.

The customer wants it out. Hes had problems with it before. Thanks for the info!mexicang

Ok bypassed the vats car still wont remote start unless i turn the key slightly forward. Not all the way to the on position but just before. The vats is permantly bypassed with an inline resistor.  The car starts with the key but not with the remote start.mexicang

not sure what you mean by "inline". To do what you are trying to do, cut the wires in the orange tubing, and connect the resistor to the side of the tubing going to the car....the side going towards the key should just be a dangling tube when you're done.Seth Alvo     NY

Ok thats what i did. The car still will only remote start if i turn the key slightly forward. If i turn it to on or back to acc. it wont even try to remote start.mexicang

verify your connections to 12v constant, acc, ignition.
