i have the clifford remote start 50.7x on my tC and i have been noticing in the mornings when i go and ill push the button to start the car and the car will start and run for a minute or so and then just turn off and i cant figure out why its doing that, after it turns off the remote will vibrate and say "remote start off"

it has probably lost it's tach signal or engine checking. Who installed it? It seems like the remote start doesn't know for sure the thing is running and shutting down in protection. If it has a wire run for tach signal all you should need to do is start the car with the key and within five seconds hit the valet button to relearn tach. If it doesn't have that wire it is either in voltage checking or virtual tach mode and for that you will have to read the manual as I am not that familiar with clifford. THey are generally the same as most viper products that I work with so that is what it sounds like to me.

It seems that it only happens like after the car sits over night and is cold. Would that have any effects on it?

it is definitely the tach signal then. Your car takes longer and more amps to crank over when cold and the remote starter is set to quit at a certain time. If it loses that then it only tries for a short second. When warm sometimes that is still just long enough to fire up but when cold usually will never let it start.

You need to relearn tach or read how to reset the virual tach/voltage sense

I just looked it up for you. Apparently that one is just like my 5901. IF you have tach hooked up when you start your car hit the valet button and hold it till your parking lights flash. You have to do that within 5 seconds after starting your car.

If your lights don't flash proceed to number two because you don't have the tach wire hooked up... If you got it professionally installed I recommend taking it back to whoever did it and demand they hook up the tach wire. It's so simple to hook up you have to be completely lazy not to and it will always work better with it because it will know for sure it is running. Meaning it will keep trying when cold till it starts just like you would with your key. If not hooked up it tries to learn an average every time the car is started to basically try for a certain interval and then quit.

There is a black wire in your obdII plug that is tach signal. I believe it is pin 7 but I am not going to look that up because if a pro did it they have that info.

NOW if you don't have the first option and don't want to have it fixed try this

Reset and Deletion

If a feature/virtual tach needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, use the following procedure.
1. Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/8, or the VIOLET,
H1/6 must be connected.)
2. Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge pink wire must be connected).
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Control button: 4 times to reset virtual tach.. These function steps are described next.

Step 2:

Step 4:

Virtual Tach Reset: Deletes all previously learned values for Virtual Tach, and on the next remote start
sequence the unit begins virtual tach initialization.
Note: The “Zap” feature on the Bitwriter does not reset the Virtual tach setting.
4. Once you have selected the function step, press the Control button once more and hold it. The LED flashes
and the siren chirps to confirm the selected functional step. Do not release the Control button
5. While holding the control button, press the

AUX

button on the remote control. The unit chirps to confirm that
the feature has been successfully reset.

Once the feature is reset, the Control button can be released.



THEN DO THIS!!!!

Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed w/hardwire tach inputs)

To program Virtual Tach:

1. After the install is complete,

Note:

Important:

the starter output time in 50mS increments to compensate for such an occurrence.
