Remote Start Keeps Trying

[Ruffels]

ohk just had my new alarm installed yesterday... however the remote start keeps trying to start the car after it turns it on

i was told that i will have to wrapp te wire around one of the coil packs and it would fit it.. and i did this... however the problem is still happening

does anyone have any ideas?

-Ruffels

[Mr. Oizo]

That solution makes absolutley no sense, who told you to try that?

[Ruffels]

mm i didnt think so

i was told that the electromagnetic field produced from the coilpacks would induce a current (which makes sence, hence flux) in the wire and indicate to the alarm that the engine is on and to disscontine trying to start the car

however a friend who installed his own alarm in his cressida said he connected his remote start to his tacho wire

i am thoughrly confused right about now

and im just wondering if anyone with an r33 has remote start as part of thier alarm.. and if so how they overcame this

connect it to teh TACH wire on the dash . set the alarm to read it and you are done.

[Ruffels]

where would i find this said wire?

eg.. what colour is it so i can atleast have a crack at finding it

-Ruffels

[Chris Rogers]

R33 is behind the dash - yel/red on a S1 not sure what it is on a S2. do you own a multimeter and KNOW how to use it?

if no - pay a shop. you can wipe out a LOT of electrics on that car if you are not careful teh ECU bing one of them.

[Ruffels]

yup... i own a multimeter and i know how to use it

i cant be f***'d pulling the dash out so hopefully it comes down in the section of the loom that is accessable from under the steering collum

so i'll keep my eye out for a yellow and red wire cheers

[Chris Rogers]

be f*kcd - its not there!. drop the cluster out and look for an AC voltage of 4-6v that moves with the throttle.

[CNBLOW]

you dont have to drop the dash just to get to the tacho sense wire, the easiest solution would be to run the wire into the passengers kick trim and connect it to the ECU, from memory it is pin 7 from the ECU but i would check that first

Google is your friend, do a search for R33 ECU pinouts and im sure you will find the correct wire

Its obviously keeps tryin to start because the alarm isnt sensing any input to stop the module from cranking

you were able with the old style remote start alarms to wrap the sense wire around one of the ignition leads goin to the coil but this cant b done with the new style alarms

[Ruffels]

ohk i found a pinout and yeh tacho is 7

but i dont know how to relate that diagram onto the actual ecu

can someone help me

-Ruffels

[dezz]

maybe try speaking to EXAUNV...he sells vipers with remote start and has a guy that installs them...he may be of some assistance

[Ruffels]

lol he's the one i bought the alarm off... and his installer installed my alarm for me.. just didnt do the remote start wire

-Ruffels

[Ruffels]

ohk... all fixed

thanks to Kris (krsysui) i managed to locate the tacho wire from the ECU

for all r33 boys its yellow with blue stripe.. both S1 and S2 so i dont know where you got the idea of yellow/red chris rogers... but thanks anyways

i took the wire and spliced into the tacho wire and the problem is now fixed

thanks all

[krzysiu]

yay i was right

When i was checking it for you Mark i was thinking about it being different because mine is a series 2. Guess thats not the case
