Remote car starter problem

I have an Automate Car Starter in my 2000 Exp. It was installed by the dealer but is no longer under warranty. The problem is when the buttons to start it are pressed, the truck actually tries to start but never catches. It does turn over and sounds fine but it doesnt seem to go long enough to catch. That might not be the problem just looks like it. When starting with the key it starts right up. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

RAS

try programming longer crank time, should be in your manual. I had to extend my crank time by .3 of a second. doesnt sound like much but it works.

Hmmm, if that works maybe a tune up is in order?
