Hello, I have 2000 Civic Ex with a Clifford Matrix RSX 50.5x remote start unit. Lately my wont remote start wont work unless the engine is warm. For example in the mornings I will hit the remote start button and will try to start, I hear it try to crank but it never starts. Now if I use the car for a bit then turn it off and then try to remote start it will start right up. Any ideas what it could be? Could it be the starter or distributor that are going? Thanks.

It has nothing to do with the remote start system. Check the igniter within the distributor.

The alarm is most likely set to check Voltage and needs a better signal. Purple/White needs to be wired to tach under the hood and learned to give it a "true" signal

How does the car start, [when cold] when using the key?

If no problem, I would go with Gumbey75 suggestion and make sure it is tach sensing and not voltage sensing.

What is the "fail to start" flash back? 94

turns out it was a bad battery, thanks for the input I checked the tach wire and distributor also.
