Any alarm/remote start gurus here...?
I know this is probably a shot in the dark, but what the heck...
One of the previous owners of my 850 Wagon had a Viper 160XV installed and I just noticed one issue with it.
The remote lock/unlock works fine, but the remote start is acting up. It will start up, but then dies about 2-3 seconds later. Same thing happens no matter how many times I start it.
What could cause this? Any alarm/remote start gurus here...? I have Googled a bit on this, but nobody seems to have the same exact issue...

If you are not electronically inclined then I would advise that you have someone else test each connection:
tach connection
brake shutoff input
hi current wires going to key cylinder wires for proper activation
Just have to go through it one wire at a time, good luck.

sounds to me like it may not be reading that the car is running. Often a tach signal is run on a car from the alarm to the engine, so that the alarm knows the car is running. i would look for a wire that goes from the alarm module to the engine bay. If that is not cut, split, broken, then you can reprogram that to the alarm module. you may have to contact viper for programing sequence, or search the net to find a manual that tells you how to.

If it was not reading the tach signal correctly it would most likely continue to crank for the complete start sequence or if it was going into over rev protection then TexFinn would note that the vehicle revs very high and proceeds to shut down. Programming the tach signal involves starting the car, press and hold valet switch till the units LED light goes on constant, release switch, done. Counting the LED flashes after trying to start the vehicle is the first step to solving the problem, otherwise you are just randomly hunting down wires and looking for a fault.

Original post is for a DEI 160XV, and not a Code or a Pursuit model. I would not confuse Tex on units and procedures that do not pertain to his/her particular situation.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding your 2 cents for any topic. Just pointing out to Tex that the tach learn procedure I posted was for that specific model. I have no doubt that the issue can be resolved once Tex starts to dig into the wires. I have installed many DEI remote starts/alarms and am currently integrating one on my coupe with a ton of custom add ons, so the wiring is familiar to me.

I don't think the alarm is doing fine, there's something wrong with that alarm.
Basically I don't know how to setup an car alarm system.
I just know how to fix them if it has been remove.
