791xv remote start problem

[yowie]

I am having a problem with the remote start on my viper 791xv, in that when i press the remote start button, the starter engages, and the engine turns over for a while, however the engine fails to actually start. The vehicle is a manual n14 Pulsar.

Cheers

imobiliser still active at the time of the engine cranking???

think it may be that i need to hook up 2nd ignition

I'd like to see a remote starter start my Gts-t. I have hard enough time myself. It usually won't start until the third go in the morning (not warmed up) and required some precision pedal pumping as well.

Time for a new starter/battery? Perhaps... maybe you have the same problems. How does your Pulsar start normally?

i also get this problem. My electrician says it has something to do with voltage/crank time or something like that. Interesting, when the engine is warm say after a drive and i later go to autostart it than there is no problems but when its cold, no chance. It just gives up after the third try. btw manually starting the car cold, do you have to give it a bit of gas? if so, maybe chance the spark plugs and this might help it.

nah the car starts perfect every time, it is almost as if the engine is getting no power to run, cos it cranks long enough, it just doesn't 'start' however turning the key starts it in a split second
