96 mitsubishi galant, remote starter

is there a chip in your key? sounds kinda like an imobilizer. try hooking up tach, if that fixes it the awsome, if not i would make sure you dont have a chiped key or something.

Hey guys, thanks for your help.

KarTuneMan, when you say the coils, do you mean the harness attached to the distributor? I checked, that harness does not have BLACK / YELLOW wire, there are two solid black ones though. I don't want to sound dumb, I just want to make sure before I start cutting and soldering wires... I read the general topic on the tach wires too. The problem is that it's very hard to find even with the multimeter, the thing starts oscillating voltage when you bring the test pin near engine.

A mechanic told me that the coil pack is built into the distributor. If not, where is the coil?

Thanks.

Thanks!!!

I used the injector wire and it works!!! I was so happy I thought it would never work.

The only problem is it takes two tries to start it, the first time it doesn't crank it enough, that's probably my battery right?

What wire did you use for the tach connection?

I used the (+) wire of the injector closest to the driver's side. Each injector has BLACK/ red wire as the negative, and the multiple colored once that are positivie. I used one of the colored ones. Not sure which color it is exactly, but I checked it with multimeter and it should be the positive input for the injectors.

Thanks.
