Default Starting prob. after remote starter installed..

recently installed a remote start,
ran good for like 3 months, always started on first tries...
now it sometimes take like 3-4 revs before it starts...
or it just locks up, and doesnt even start at all..
this was installed on a 94 accord,
anyone know what might be the problem?
spark plugs? not enough fuel? relay?

thanks.

Prolly bad wires contact..

is it cranking, but not starting? theres something on there that learns your crank time or something. i dont see that being off... but id take it to a local shop and have them look at it. btw what kinda alarm is it?

well the problem got worse and worse throughout time,
at first it just cranks like 2-3 times then starts...
then a longer period, it just cranked and didnt start at all but only extreme cold days...
and just earlier today, my Check lights were on "Oil light & the Batterylight" and i had to press the remote start button again which is to shut off the car, and then i had to put the key in the ignition and start it manually and it started fine...
this is the first time that has ever happened...
gonna test it a few times later in the morning and see what happens then...

[p.s] - the alarm is made by FM two-way thats what it says on the remote...
a friend gave it to me so i dont have the box and exact brand name for it...
(the remote that beeps when someone sets the alarm off has the sensor thing etc.)
