I installed alarm/remote start on a 01 Nissan Maxima. When I remote start my car, car starts but dies immediately. Anything I should check for?

Did you program tach? Did you install the 556U interface module? You will need one for this car. If you have, try remote starting the car with the key in the ignition. If it starts, you know there is a problem with the interface.

how do I program the tach?

Car will only start if I turn the key to ON position but starter keeps engaging while the car is on. It seems as if the car doesn't recognize that it's on and wants to keep starting.

I have the 555U. Maybe something to do w/ the 555U ring and the key cylinder?

sounds to me like you have a problem with the second starter wire. Ive done something like this before when installing a relay for the second starter. What I found is you need to ground the relay for this starter to the remote start status output wire. That way, the relay will not engage for any other time except remote start cranking.

I tried to program tach but I was not able to do so. Light doesn't come on when I hold the valet button within 5 sec of starting my car.

did you hook up the tach wire. Sounds like you didn't or you didn't hook it up to the right wire. Did you tap the in put for the relay to the mini four pin harness off the relay pack.

Is there a way to reset the brain? My valet button stopped working for some reason. I heard plug everything w/ the key at ON position? Can someone confirm this?
