compustar remote start doesn't crank?

Hi, i have a 98 Honda Civic EX and just installed a Compustar CM3000, everything thing works fine execpt for the R/S. i bypass the clutch, learned tach but when i try to R/S it on reservation mode it doens't want to crank over, i can see  the dash light up ready to crank but doesn't and it keeps trying and trying until i stop it, does anybody have suggestions?

have you leaned the tach? (the button on the side) start car let reach normal idle then press button lights will flash and tach is learned.Steve Sverdahl

yes i have learned tach because i pressed while car was on idle and i got a one chirp to confirm it was tach

i tap clutch wires together so it can start without the clutch down, and what do u mean safty sequence, like the cars in running after the key has been removed and when the door is closed then it shuts down because it does that with the e-brake up

You may have the yellow and yellow/black starter kill wires backwards.

no i got it correct, and i found out it was the Starter output in CN2 that wasn't connected but i still dont know y it doesn't lock itself after an remote start?

When you exit the car it should shut off, lock the doors and arm itself. Why would it lock itself again after remote starting?

Well what did you use for your transponder? Does the car turn off and one 3 times? Pay attention to your dash board lights. When it first starts and then turns off pay attention to the green key light. You needs a honda bypass module. 98 should have a transponder."dont ground out!"

The Civic didn't get a transponder key until 2001.
