I need to isolate the starter wires during remote start. Can someone explain to me which terminals to connect where? This is a car that has two starter wires (one is for cold start). Do I use one relay or two?

96 Altima.

If I don't isolate either starter wire, car remote starts and idles well, but turning the key even just to ignition causes starter grind.

If I isolate only main start wire, still grind.

If I isolate both (through one relay, or two), no good.

If I isolate just the cold start wire, everything works, but I think the car is idling too low when remote started.

Oh, automatic transmission.
