i installed viper 5101 to my 03 ford explorer. everything worked fine until last week when it got so cold.. when u use the remote start it only stay workin for 5 seconds and turn off.

I tried to reset the vertual tach like it says in the manual:: nothing happen

While your problem sounds like a voltage sense or tach issue here is another possibility...

What type of bypass did you use? The older bypass like the PKU-F2 or 556SW were sensitive to low temperatures and not reliable in cold weather...

The PKALL is a good unit so that is not your issue.

I am not familiar with the Viper unit, but on the tach wire, here are some locations:

1.) Any wire that is NOT WHITE/ PURPLE or RED @ IGNITION COIL PACK

2.) Gray wire at PCM module

3.) TAN/WHITE on 4.0 LITER AT IGNITION COIL

Good luck!

whatever i do the remote start dont want to learn the tach.. maybe i've been doing something wrong..

start the car with key and then hold the Valet/Programswitch.

. After 3 seconds the LED light should comes on when the tach signal is learned, but it never light up..

which wire do you have your tach wire connected too

if you have the 4.0 i usually go to the coil tan/white

for some reason they dont like using an injector wire i do mostly code alarm systems though
