Ford Remote Start wont start

G’day, I just picked up an 02 Supercrew. It came with a “Ford” remote starter. I imagine it was a dealer install for the previous owner. Anyways when I try to use the remote starter, it will crank the engine over but not fire. If I manually start the truck it fires up immediately. Any ideas how come the remote start wont fire?

Thanks

Did you find out what was causing the problem? I have the same deal.

Hey there, it was quite awhile ago but I ended up taking it a car starter place and they changed the anti theft module. I can't remember the price but I'm sure it was under $100

off topic sorta, but can you buy a for remote start kit for these trucks? What does your key fob look like?

I'm out of town so I can't take a pic but it's nothing special. Just a generic key fob with no Ford labeling. I'm sure you can get a better non Ford remote starter. The Ford remote is an aftermarket one (for my truck 2002)
