just a quick thing, one of the installers at work was having trouble with a dei remote starter, the newer ones with the second ignition relay included, it would only start periodically, and sometimes would start, then grind the starter, then all the relays would lock up, the only way it would reset is unplug the whole thing and do it over again.. plus, it wasnt learning the tachometer properly.
just wondering if anyone has had any problems out of these... this one was a sidewinder 6500, and one other guy i talked to said he had prblems out of the 551r unit as well
thanks
Ryan

Ryan, try using a couple of fuel injector wires instead of the tach wire. All the injectors will have one wire in common that is the same color on all of them, dont use this wire, but use the one that is the different color. Use at least 2 injectors, and make sure you use a diode to keep them isolated. Should clear up the naughty grinding thing. I wonder if the relays locking up are a function of the grinding? Try a different box if you have one and see if it malfunctions the same way. Other things to check are the GROUND first! Use a meter and read from your ground screw to the battery negative. As I've said before, if you think you have a good ground, keep looking!

STILL waiting to hear a GOOD pair of HLCD's!!

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...
