anyone have a Buldog remote starter? im having a few problems with mine, wondering if anyone else has the problem. it wont start on the first crank usually the 3rd crank. if its my car not the starter.. what would make it crank faster. btw, sometimes when its cranking it, it halfway cranks then dies real fast and tries again- it doesnt sound good when it does that. any help?

 

Hey I really don't have much experience with car electronics, but today however I went up to my local Auto FX, to get my Impulse auto-starter installed. They would do it however they couldn't gauruntee it would work, since they never heard of the product. Also, they claimed that the Bulldog starters are junk, however, that could be just sales pitch, but I'd rather take the pro's word for it.

Sorry about the bad news

 

I doubt it. There made by JBS Technologies and they seem pretty legit. I know a few people on the board have one.

 

hey bro you met the right person(ehemmmmm.. Me )
well i don't know about your remote starter well ive got Python remotestarter. and it was doing the same for me. it was my car not the remote. i had to actually step on the gas to start it. it won't start from the remote. so i did little search and found TB cleaning. so i went and cleaned it. NO MORE PROBLEM.... this i guarantee you if it's your CAR. but if it's your remote starter i don't know..
this will help you.

Thanks,
Tae

 

so your car wouldnt start with the remote start. but after the TB cleaning the remote starter worked?

 

yup....
let me ask you this.... does your car start fine when it's cold outside? let's just say you are trying to start it without remote in the winter morning. it starts up fine?

 

yeah, the problem is the thing dosnt crank long enough, just 1 second longer it would crank

 

I had a bulldog remote starter... I had the same problem with starting, and had a clean TB. I got it to work at one point, but still never used it haha.. now I unwired it from the starter, so it just turns on my "accessory" which is airconditiong, stereo, etc... mainly for my stereo, so I dont have to bein it to have it on (if I want it loud, turn it off and use remote start)

I also love being able to leave my car running , but have no keys in it thanks to the starter... if anyone touches the brake (or shifter in auto) or clutch, it turns it off (without the key being in) if that makes sense... oh well

 

wont that run down your battery?

maybe i should take it back and get a different one

 

when ever it comes to car alarms and stuff.. DIRECTED ELECTRONICS is the way to go

 

what about VIPER?

 

made by DEI = Directed Electronics

 

I had a felling that was coming. BTW, does anybody know where the TACH wire is? The manual says its a Green & White Wire near the "ENG CON MOD" but i cant find it. Imma try to hook that up and see if i get a better result.

 

that WILL help.. i dont exactly remember the tach wire now but i can look up and post at nite?

 

sure thing, i can post a pic where you can point it out if that will help?

 

i posted the pic anyway, you can just draw a line pointing at it so i can look for it.

 

can anybody help me out?
