It depends on the plug that you use. Some are Pre-Gapped.

You are not the only one with this issue. If the remote starter has sensors on the hood to tell it when the hood is up, I would check to see if there is an adjustment on this sensor. When it gets cold the specs on the sensor are changing and it opens the sensor. This may be because of metal parts of the car or the sensor contracting in the cold.

How many miles do you have on the new engine? Did you install it yourself? Was it a long or short block install? Was the timing belt on the replacement engine new? Does the engine crank over faster than what would seem normal? If your engine has more than 80K miles on it, you may have a broken timing belt.

This is somebody else's so;ution, but it might give you an idea on where to start. I always thought the valet switch was just a key that you gave to the valet. But inn this case out of my legue, my old dodge pickup doesn't hAVE AND MOST LIKELY NEVER WILL HAVE A VALET SWITCH. So check this so;ution oout and see if it gets you going in the right direction.

There should be a key specifically for a valet.
1) Open one of your vehicle's doors and turn the ignition, using the car key, to the "Run" position. Check to see that the dome light comes on. Make sure that you have the dome light set to the position where it powers the light when the door is opened, as there are usually three settings: one for "On," one for "Off" and one for when a door is opened.
2) Press the valet remote push-button to access the channel that you want to program: once for "Arm/disarm," twice for "Trunk Release" and three times for "Remote Start." The valet push-button is usually located under the driver's side panel, and it must be pressed within 15 seconds of opening the door. The push-button may also be installed underneath the kick panel.
3) Press the valet push button once again and wait to hear a chirping or a honking sound. If you do not hear either of these sounds, your vehicle might have a jumper installed that has turned the valet programming feature off. Refer to your vehicle's instructional manual to learn how to set the valet programming feature to the "On" position. Keep holding the valet button pressed as you continue onto the next step.
4) Push the button on the remote that you wish to assign to a particular valet channel. Press the button on the hand-held valet remote that you wish to assign to a particular valet channel. If you wish to program multiple remotes, repeat this step for each of them. If you program four or more remotes, the old programming will be erased.
5) Let go of the valet push-button and exit your vehicle. Your handheld remote is now ready to use.
Tips & Warnings- Some valet remote channels require different programming individually, so refer to the owner's manual or to the link provided in the "Resources" section of this article, for specific instructions.
- Valet remote programming methods may vary, depending on the vehicle's make and model.

Hello and thank you for asking your question here on fixya.com.

I have actually written a general information article that will walk you through the general process of changing the fan belt on your 2004 Kia Spectra. It will also point you to the resources you need for getting the diagrams of how the belt needs to go back on. Belts usually cost less than $20 and take a few minutes to put them on.

Here is a link to that article:

Thanks for reading.

Get inside the car, turn the key to the on position, the alarm is going to sound so do not panic when the alarm sounds press the valet button one time and the alarm should stop. To place the alarm in valet mode cycle the key with the door open on then off then press the valet button one time and the alarm should go into valet mode meaning the alarm light will be on steady.

It sounds like your alternator are going out.
