I've had my remote start on for about 2 years now... that this started to happin about a year ago...
The remote start works perfectly fine. Until the car is fully warmed up and shut her off... come back out a minute or two later and try the remote start again... it starts the car, sits for 3 seconds... then kills itself. it restarts... sits for 3 seconds... then kills it self again. and thats that.
if i let her sit for a while and cool down then it's back to working normal.
Thoughts?
I thought that the car was just die'n... but it's not. the remote start is killing it.

it's a '97 Acura Integra... it's a 2-way pager alarm, the brand on the Remote says Delta... i believe the modual is a Black Widow.
thoughts?

Was anything done to the ignition system of the car like a MSD 6A module ? Sounds like a weird tach problem.

no, nothing. the only thing i can thing that i changed at that time was... for my rear marker lights i installed the 1156 LED bulbs... they work fine, i then went and tried to install the 1157 LED's for my brake/running lights... but for some reason the only half the led clusters light up... and that actually F's up my alarm system (i'm thinking it's not pushing enough current thought the electrical system so the alarm thinks something happining)
BTW, i do not have my Tach hooked up to the alarm/remote start.

your alarm is sensing voltage since you replaced your light with led lights it's not going to be the same voltage......run a tach wire and your prob. will be fixed.

i'm not understanding what your saying...
the V is the same wether the LED's or incondecent bulbs are in... but the LED's are barly pulling any Current. why is this causeing the problem?
and also, why is it when i install more LED bulbs (like replacing the brake/running lights) do only 1/2 the bulb works?
i've been trying to figure that out for months.
Thanks!

try wiring a regular bulb in pararell with your led lights and you'll probably notice a difference

i actually did that a while back... it didnt do anything... the LED bulb didnt light all the way... so i thought it was the bulb and replaced it with another LED bulb in parallel with an incondecent... still does it.

BTW, why does the tach wire need to be hooked up now that I installed the LED Side markers?
and i still have no idea why, even when putting in parallel with an incondectent, those 1157 LED's dont work correctly.

i havent been able to attatch the tach wire to the modual yet... so i'm not sure if thats the problem yet.
but the LED's is a diffrent subject... thoughts on those?

Aren't the 1156 bulbs single filament and 1157 double filament? If this is the case, the other half of the LED bulb is not making connection in the socket. You will probably need to change the socket out to fit 1157 bulbs.
I could be mistaken though.
As far as the remote starter, I do believe the tach needs to be hooked to it for it to work right.

yes the 1156 are single (which is what i have installed in the side marker lights, they work perfectly)
and the 1157 are dual filiment (which i installed into the stock 1157 socket [brake / running light location]) and these 1157's are creating a problem.
they do not light entirely... yes i did hit the brake to see what they did... they did nothing. i made sure the connections were all good... and they are.
i cant figure this one out! :(
