hope someone can help me solve a long standing problem thats baffled many subaru experts so far.
my uk turbo 2000 impreza '96 sometimes refuses to fire, but ignition is on and engine is turning over, of course after i disable the alarm.
I do not know what the alarm beeps mean as i got no instructions for it, has anyone got a guide for my cobra alarm explaining the modes and beeps?!
i am hoping the alarm is disabling the starting up somehow, any ideas?

each remote start unit has a tach wire that will tell when the car is running. im not sure on your unit which one it is...or if its even hooked up...
