I am installing a ProStart remote start/Keyless entry system. When i start the car with the remote the Starting Motor continues to turn. This website tells me that the wire for the tach is WHITE/ Black. and is located on PCM Driver's Strut Tower 2 Cylinder Setting. I connected the Wire needed to be connected to the indicated Tach wire, still same result. any suggestions?

I connected to the wire in the diagram on this page for the tach, did the learning procedure, the module didn't pick it up, so the wire i connected it to must not be the right one. any suggestions?

WHITE/ BLACK Located At Pin #48 On Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Located On Passenger Rear Of Engine On Firewall (behind power steering reservoir).... My car's a 1996 contour and I had a second WHITE/ black wire on the PCM located on a totally different pin. But I knew it was pin #48, so I got it in the right spot.

I'm still stuck at trying to get my starter to turn over with my remote start. I haven't gotten to that problem yet.

Does your car have FORD P.A.T.S.?? If so you need Bypass unit.

If U already put one on, then U need to be sure it is on during & after cranking.

Alright, I found out it's some kind of an anti-theft feature from ford. But I think that might only be with '98 and up. I think I'm in the clear. I hope!
