Remote Start on 02 GM MC not working.

< language=>I recently acquired an '02 Monte Carlo SS from a

private party.  The car has on it, a 'Valet' (Model561T made by Directed Electronics) remote start. Activation is integrated with the GM key fob, justclick 'lock' 3 times and <enter Dorothy joke here>. The previous owner demonstrated to me that it worked. I even tried it at home, once.  Of course, it nolonger works for some reason, probably because I wentto go show my wife how great my car is.  She was dulyimpressed. Here is what happens.  I click lock 3 times.  Theheadlights come on, the interior accessories run (Ican hear my radio), and I can hear the fuel pumpprime.  At this time the car should crank and start,but instead nothing.  The car never cranks.  Thesystem must see the engine isn't running, and repeatsit's process (twice more), but each time it shouldcrank the engine...deafening silence. Does anybody know how to trouble-shoot these things? I know it worked when I bought it.  I bring it homeand a week later...nothing.   Could Passlock have anything to do with it?  Is therea relay that cranks the car that could be bad? (Iassume it engergizes a relay to crank the car andperhaps the relay went bad?) Anything I should check?Anything specific to look for? I made sure the car wasin park, no brake or parking brake on, doors closed,ect...     

I would appreciate any information and help anyone

could give to me regarding troubleshooting this.

put the key in the ign. and try it again.....if it works then the bypass is not working.....also look under the hood and see there is a pin switch....if so, make sure it is working..............Good Luck
