RS-560 won't start

Vehicle:1999 Chevy Lumina

RS/Alarm unit: Commando RS-560

I have finished this install and the car will not start with the remote. Car starts fine with a key. When I try to use the RS, the lights blink once (as it should), then the alarm goes off (instead of starting the car). 

I have entered the tach programming and have tried both the 'Voltage' and 'OFF' settings. I did not hook up the WHITE/ Red tracer tach wire. The BLACK/ White tracer is grounded. I have a resistor that matches the key pellet hooked up via a relay.

I suspect one of two things: Either the relay/resistor circuit I built is messed up, or I tapped into the wrong starter/ignition wires. I have the list of wires/locations chart for this vehicle - so that won't help. BUT, explaination on the ignition harness might. There is two ribbon type of wire bundles that go up into the steering column. I did NOT connect to these. Those ribbons go to a connector thingy that has big (10ga?) wires that match what I'm looking for. The wiring chart shows starter is yellow, and the ignition is pink. I tested the voltage on these bigger wires and they had the correct (expected) readings.

Thanks KarTuneMan, but I've figured out the problem.

Did not use the hood pin circuit - just yet. Figured I'd get the bulk of it done, then hook that up and the door open triggers later. I also only need one accessory wire hooked up. I did end up getting the car remote to work, but other things are now wacky. After way too much time into this thing, we figured out that one of the chips inside the unit is fried. Will be contacting the factory for a replacement.

The guy who installed the RS on my car had the same issue, press start, lightsd flash alarm went off.... cancel the alarm with the factory remote and the start sequence would continue perfectly. Found out that instead of Disarming the alarm, he had tied into the "door open" signal wire. I moved the wire the door key switch to simulate to the alarm that a key had been turned and presto... RS worked like a charm.
