I have a 850i3 installed on a 94 Dodge Shadow. The starter has been working great up until a day or so ago. Now, when I do a remote start, the car will start up, but will only stay started for 2 seconds. Any suggestions?

I would re-program the tach signal on the unit. Sounds like the starter is dragging and this is a common problem associated with the tach wire and it's programming.
