94 corolla, avital 4103l

I need help with my vital 4103L install on my 94 corolla. I hook all the wires up, even the tach wire but it won't start. I researched to see if I need any addition modules but everything said no, unless i missed something. What am I missing? It unlocks and locks, just won't start.

Immobiliser by-pass?
List what you've wired to where.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

Everything I looked up said this car doesn't need the bypass.

on the alarm:
main 9 pin harness i connected
Brown to the GREEN/ red horn
white to the RED / white lights

remote start 6 pin harness
2 red to white 12v
orange accessory to BLACK / YELLOW accessory
purple starter to BLACK/ white starter
pink ignition to BLACK/ orange ignition

satellite harness
nothing connected

remote start 5 pin harness
violet/white to tach at the coil
brown brake to GREEN / WHITE brake

door lock 3 pin harness
blue unlock to blue / YELLOW unlock
green lock to blue/white lock

Try the R/S with the key in the ignition, how have you connected the wires, solder, T -taps?
Auto or manual transmission?
Where's your ground point and have you measured voltage between there and your inputs?
The R/S should click a number of times after a failed start, count the clicks.
Did you program tach?

And don't try to tell me you've done the programming, have you not connected door triggers on this unit?

Delete my last comment, you said ALARM and it isn't an alarm BUT, you've got a second ignition to connect up and yes for some reason I was thinking 04 not 94 so yes, no by-pass needed.

My bad, it's not an alarm just remote start and keyless entry.
solder the connections
auto transmission
the ground is screwed to the car. close to where there was a ground already. I did not measure the voltage between the ground and inputs.
Once I lock the doors and attempt the remote start, nothing happens. no clicks or anything. But when I try to unlock the doors, it clicks twice.
I followed the steps in the instructions on programming the tach. Turn the car on, press the valet button within 5 seconds for 3 seconds until the programming light turns solid then let go. once light turns off it is programmed.

Also I have the tach connected to the diagnose plug under the hood.

That's fine, test for the second ignition and wire it to your pink white.

I have not connected door trigger because the unit dosent list a door triggers connect.

That's why I already posted about deleting the post.

Where did you connect the BLACK/ white netural safety wire ? It's in the same 5 pin connector as the tach and brake wires

I didn't because my car diagram doesn't show I have something to connect it to unless I ground it.

Yeah ground that wire and see if it starts

I haven't worked on that car in particular but if its an automatic it should have a neutral safety switch. If you get in the car put it in drive or reverse and try to start the car. It shouldn't try to crank over if it has a safety switch. Do this in an empty parking lot and be prepared to step on the brake if the car tries to move. If you have the switch then just ground that wire. That's most likely why the car isn't starting.

I'm with these two...you should actually have a switch to put on that wire so you can disable the remote start. Also on the topic of safeties you should hook up the hood pin. That, the R/S disable switch, and the under-hood warning stickers are valuable protection and safety for whomever has to work under the hood of your car.

i had the car in reverse and drive and both times tried starting the car and it didn't start. So I grounded that wire and it still would not remote start.

The unit did come with a separate switch that I connected to the BLACK/ white wire then I grounded the other end but still no start.

What does it do when you try to start it ?

Ensure that switch is ON and the avital is seeing a ground on that BLACK/ white wire.

Should that fail you need to perform the shutdown diagnostics.
