You said you can get it to turnover, but it won't stay running. Make sure you connect your second starter wire.

*6 The ignition harness wires change color at a plug. The above listed colors show both sides of the plug.

Also make sure, to have a good tach wire, if you are using one.

TACHOMETER|WHITE/ green | |ECM *5

*5 The ECM is located in the front of the center console on the transmission hump. The wiring is easily reached by removing the small black panel just to the front of the center console on the passenger side. the wire is in the middle row, 7th one in from the left.

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.

Thanks Luis

I'm going to try that after lunch. That 2nd wire you said to connect is the only other wire that i'm not engaging with the remote start. And that's why it's not hot when i turn the car on, becuase it's only hot during crank.

Try using a relay, when connecting the second starter wire.
