If anyone can help. I have a remote start/ alarm/ keyless entry system and I am working on the remote start first. With what i have hooked up now, when i press the remote start button the car power turns on for about 5 seconds and then cuts back off. I have wiring diagrams out the wahzoo and still can seem to figure it out. Also on some forums im reading that i may need a relay and some forums say i wont need one. Again if anyone can help THANKS

A few things I would suggest checking.
1. If you've used the factory hoodpin wire, remove it and install your own hoodpin. I've found that Nissans have all kinds of electrical noise on their hoodpin wire that can randomly shut down most remote starters.
2. Make sure that your ignition harness wires are connected properly - all 6 wires from the ignition switch should be connected, including the cold start wire. Meter them to make sure they all show 12 volts when they should.
All need to be set properly as ignition, acc. or start. Also, if you've got the main starter wire cut for the starter kill relay, the remote starter's start output needs connected on the side facing away from the key switch.
3. If none of that works - try switching from tach to voltage sensing, or vice versa.

My service is cheap, quick, and good - pick any two
did you program the unit for tach or voltage sense ? you must do so in order for the remote start to know that the car is on. it defenitive sounds like a tach issue
