791XV in 96 TA remote start issue

Hey all,

Seems my last post died off a little. Anyways I resolved mnay of the little problems with my new Viper 791XV in my 1996 Trans Am, but now I'm having curious problems with the remote start. Basically when you actiavte the remote start, the vehicle powers up, the starter moves into position, but it doesn't crank. When you put the key in the ignition, it starts, but then shuts down right away....when you put the key in and turn it to run, it starts, stays running, but then keeps trying to crank.

I have connected the Pink Ig1 wire, the Purple wire to the starter wire, the tach wire to the pcm, the orange to Accessory, the factory disarm H2 gr/blk to the VATS relay, and so on. The only wires I didn't connect were the green onboard starter kill wire (I'm kinda sceptical on cutting the starter wire and relying on the alarm to always make that connection) and the pink/white ignition 2 wire (this wasn't connected before with my OMega remote start module). When I run the car, and try the tach learn sequence, that doesn't work either.

Any recommendations or suggestions?!!?

Thanks :D

PS. Also wondering where to hook the ground wire on my second radar sensor to?? (So it would be grounded when armed)

Profuse007  are you vietnamese

take the green to the key side and purple to starter side... thats how starter kill relays have been for years.  remember, alarms are not ment to keep your CDs and radios from being stolen.  they are ment to keep the vehicle from being stolen.  thats what the starter kill does.  also, you are throwing away another feature, the green and purple wires act as your anti-starter grind circuit.  when the car is remote started, only the purple wire has voltage, so if you crank the key,  you wont hurt the car because the green wire wont let the signal pass.

as for the crank problems, go back over the vats relay and resistors.  make sure you are using the right resistor values.  as far as over cranking, when the brain is set for voltage sense, itll only crank its programed amount of time.  i think default is .6 seconds.

I've got it set on tach sense, but I can't get it to get learn the tach. I wil hook up the purple wire and try that, to see if it resolves the anti-grind problem. As for the VATS, I was told to use the gr/blk factory disarm wire....is this wrong?? Which wire is the P12 orange wire?

And which harness is the ORANGE / blk wire for the ground when armed for the sensor??

thanks guys/gals

OK, I'm gonna go over everything, but here's how I've got it, for my 96 trans am

Heavy harness =

Purple, starter side...green key side of starter wire (yellow on car)

Orange to accessory Orange on car

Pink/White to ign 2 Brown on car

Pink to Ign 1 Pink on car

4 pin harness on satellite:

Blue (-) status ouput to VATS relay

On H1 Harness:

RED / White (-) 200mA ch 2 to Trunk relay

Brown (-) to siren

Blue (-) trunk trigger to ORANGE / Blk at BCM blue connector

Green (-) door trigger

Orange ground when armed OUTPUT to black wire of second sensor (radar)

H3 Harness (5 PIN):

Blk/White to toggle switch (automotactic so didn't use neutral safety...works fine)

Violet/Wht to tach input at White wire on PCM (looked up connector spot 13)

Brown (+) brake input to white at brakes

Grey to hoodpin

And basically that's all I have hooked up. I have tested all of the alarm, except for the sensors, since I don't have them hooked up yet, and everything's working fine, it's just the remote start I have to change around, and hopefully if these connections look ok to everyone, then it should work!!

H3 Harness (5 PIN):

Blk/White to toggle switch (automotactic so didn't use neutral safety...works fine)

that needs to be hooked up with a toggle switch to ground to complete the remote start circuit.  you take that to a toggle switch to break the ground.  say if a mechanic needs to work on the car, with the switch off the car cant start.  when you engage the remote starter with out that wire grounded, the circuit doesnt exist, you need that to complete it.

Ok...now I'm getting a little frustrated....I tore the remote start satellite out, and rewired the entire thing, making sure everything was connected to the right wires, and done properly. Now, when I hit the remote start, it cranks, starts, then shuts down.

Now, I checked the VATS relay, and everything's wired right, I used the Blue status wire on the satellite to activate the relay. I STILL CANNOT get the system to learn the tach! Will the unit shut down after starting because of the tach learn? or is it 2 problems I'm dealing with (tach and VATS).

This is really getting frustrating.

BTW hooked up both sensors, and I am really impressed with how well it works and the quik response on the remote!!
