hello everyone , I,m new here and I know I will find the help I need , So thanks in advanced. Problem is I'm installing my avital 4130 in a 2000 ford expedition 4.6l and when i press the remote start button all that happens is it just bumps the starter for half a second. I'm lost as all heck now. I'm using a dei 555p bypass.

Thanks!!!!
I could not find the pink/white wire they say is in the front of engine in a 3 pin connecter under air intake , so I did some reading and seen other people say use one of the coil pack wires ( not the GREEN/ red wire) so thats what i've done

Thanks!!!!
Did you "learn" the tach rate to the unit too? Start engine, press and hold valet button, wait for red LED on brain to come on solid.
I always forget about DEI products and Fords.....but they either don't like coil wires or don't like fuel injector wires. I always forget which, but one is bad and the other is OK.
Another thing you could do is reprogram the 4103 for Virtual Tach, which actually works quite well. Or set for Voltage Sensing, and set the crank time for 1.0 seconds.
Even if you plan to eventually find and use the correct tach wire, you can use Virtual Tach or Voltage Sensing as a troubleshooting tool........
If you switch to one of those modes and it works, you know your installation is good, and you can keep hunting for a good tach wire.
On the other hand, if it still won't work, you know there is something wrong with your installation, that you can/should troubleshoot and fix before worrying about tach.
well after trying what you said chris , with the coil pack the led light would not go constant , but switched wire to odd fuel injector wire and tryed it again. this time the led light stayed constand and the parking lights flashed once , so i,m assuming that the tach is working properly now but still just bumps the starter for half a second . tryed with key in and key out thinking that would eliminate a prob with bypass.There are a couple wires i'm not sure if i need to hook up. ....
primary harness (H1) wiring diagram
h1/3 yellow (+) ignition out (to alarm)
h1/5 oarnge (-) ground when locked
and then on the 4-pin satellite harness I only have the blue (-) status output wire connected to the blue status wire on the main box

Thanks!!!!
Can you list how you have everything wired? Maybe you have an acc wire hooked to an ingition circuit causing the truck not start

tried to be as detailed as possible, let me know if more info needed

Thanks!!!!
Try moving the h2/1 wire from the starter wire to ground. Maybe the switch is in the on position and when you remote start the truck you take the ground away long enough to shut the truck down. Also did you meter you ingition wires before connecting to them I'm pretty sure the RED / black wire its in ingition wire not acc. There is also a BLACK/ green wire that I don't see in your list I always power everything that the key would.

I would think the toggle switch going to that starter wire is the issue.. Disconnect the end to the starter wire and connect it to ground.. then try it!!!!
well toggle switch to starter wire was definitely the problem . swapped it to ground and works like a charm. Thank you all for the useful info , I knew I would find the answers herre!! Have a merry christmass all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
