Anyone have any starter related problems with this installed? I'm asking 'cause I've just put on my THIRD starter since having this compustar car starter installed in Jan '05.
Thankfully the champion starter I use has a 3 year warranty. There is no grinding noise when I start the car via the remote or key. Anyone with similar problems on their max?

 

Mine's doing fine. You're doing tach sensing, right?

If your remote start is connected to the tach wire it should start the same exact way you would manually start if not better. Do not use a time mode for starting it as some times it takes longer to start it and sometimes shorter.

 

Stop using aftermarket starters.
The savings & warranty aren't worth the effort to replace the thing every 6 months.

 

Sure, but the factory starter was way more expensive and carried less warranty. I'm using the tach sensing method and I only start it when I want to get into it. I don't use the timed start method, rather I plug it in when the weather is really bad. Maybe I just got a couple of bum starters?
Thanks everyone.

 

That's if the alarm module "learned" correctly. If it was never set, it could be cutting short, or holdin too long, both cases worse than manually starting. Anyways, JSMax, for the heck of it, let your car warm up to normal temp, then learn the tach and see if that changes anything.

I'm on aftermarket AutoLite starter from AutoZone with lifetime warranty. It's been 3 years now without problems, still starting fine.
