I just purchased and am installing a Nitro 2 way remote starter/alarm/entry kit in a 2004 Kia Sedona minivan. I don't have the whole thing done yet, but I'm trying to test the starting.
The doorlocks aren't hooked up yet, but the alarm works when the car is bumped.
When I use the remote to start the vehicle, it turns over, but doesn't fire. With the key, it starts right away.
I haven't yet hooked up the doorlock wires, the signal lights, or the A/C wire. Would any of these cause it not to start for any reason?
I haven't been able to find a manual or a wiring diagram for a 2004 Kia, but I WAS confident I tapped into the correct wires until it didn't fire...
I'd appreciate any advice. thanks.

Don't Learn from Others Mistakes
You Might Be the One That Knows.
Hi there, thanks for the info.
This is my first attempt to install a multi-functional system (I did a single remote start a couple years ago, but there was a lot less to it...) and I wanted to test my progress before deciding if I should turn it over to a professional.
Maybe it's normal for it not to start until I have the other components installed, I was just trying to get some idea if I had done something wrong before I went any further. I'll finish up and test it again.
thanks again for the wire chart.

does your car have a pats type of anti-theft (chip in the key)? I am guilty of testing an unfinished system also and if the remote start part is incomplete or incorrect it won't start but this is a great way to learn trouble shooting i wouldn't give up but thats just me,
