Hello Clark,
This sounds like an issue with the immobilizer. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I assume that your ignition key is grey in color. If so there is a RF chip inside your key, that when placed in the ignition reads the code on your key, and then allows the vehicle to start. When an aftermarket DEI remote start is installed there is a unit called a 555U installed as well that contains a spare key inside of it. If you pull your ignition shroud off you will see that there is a circular black cable that has been placed around your ignition switch. Typically this can come loose and slide out of place over years of movement. Try using a zip tie to tighten it back in place, and thy to start the car via the remote again. If this does not work, then there is a problem with the 555U, it may have lost power, or went bad. Again this is only with a gray manufacture key, not a black manufacture key.

SOURCE: my viper remote starter cranks engine but car

Did you connect the tach wire of the unit to your car? if not you need to refer to your documentation to turn on or off the tachless operation for the unit to work correctly.

Viper Remote starter (Model 4115V1) does not immediately turn on...car will try to turn-over does not and about 45 seconds later, engines turns over. Viper was installed at Best Buy (authorized dealer

It sounds like a problem in the remote start module that was installed. I assume it has not always done this. See what type of warrenty you have on it. Probably none but sometimes suprises happen.

How to use the viper 476v remote

The buttons for lock, unlock and trunk open are clearly marked. the asterisk controls the remote starter (if available). press and release one time, the parking light should flash one time confirming receipt of the command. If one time doesn't work, press the button twice.

I have a 99 gmc yukon with a Viper auto start & alarm system. My car is turning over but won't start!!!

The issue may be with the immobilizer bypass module. Is this a new installation? If not, did the remote starter work before?

Keyless Entry doesn't unlock my doors anymore

Did you get help? My problem is similar but not as bad. My viper550ESP no longer remotely unlocks the doors (well very, very occasionally it does). That is the only problem.

Parking lights will not come on when I use the remote starter

Most alarm installers use in line connectors or crimp-on connectors. If you can identify these connections looking under the dash, you will have to give it a little twist. Usually this allows it to make contact again.
