This morning i went to auto start my car, but it didnt work. It doesnt crank or nothing, just i here a clicking.

Its not the battery cause i tried jumping it, also took the battery from my brothers integra and it still didnt work. Its the first time its happened.

Its not Fuel Pump or Main Fuel Relay related. All my fuses seem to be ok. Battery obviously not the problem. My bro thinks it might be the alarm thats preventing it from starting (something to do with starter kill) i have a compustar alarm.

wat do u guys think it could be.

Well I am not sure how that alarm is wired up or anything like that but if you have it on the car, you must know how it works, so make sure (using that knowledge), that it isn't causing the problem. If that fails, uninstall it temporarily, if it'not too much trouble.

If you turn the key to the RUN position, does the Check Engine Light go off after a few seconds??

What do you mean by 'autostart' your car?

well my buddy that installed my alarm(professional installer) said it was the starter thats the problem.

my alarm has autostart capabilities. i can start my car with a remote without using a key. u should know wat it is

Well my guess would be the starter, but FYI remote starters cause alot of electrical issues when installed on a car.

The key word you used there was remote. What your describing is correctly entitled "Remote start" you duck. Not auto start. So don't tell me "u should know wat it is" if you don't even know how to state it correctly.


"auto start" would imply the car starts up automatically on it's own. Unless this system of yours does /that/ it's simply remote start.

You should know what it is. Just put the pieces of the puzzle together moron.

What pieces? the ones your dumb *** is made out of?


I'm just saying that if he had said remote start, I would have known what he meant. I've never heard of someone calling remote start auto start because there is nothing immediately automatic about it.

so simple

shouldnt be the alarm, alarms are normally only wired to starter kill, so if its clicking/trying to crank, alarm should not be involved
