Viper remote starter, car cranks but does not turn over

1. Cold weather: Cold temperatures can affect the performance of the engine and make it harder to start.
2. Battery issue: A weak or failing battery can cause the engine to take longer to start.
3. Starter issue: If the starter is worn or damaged, it may struggle to crank the engine, especially in cold weather.
4. Ignition system problem: If there's an issue with the ignition system, such as a faulty spark plug or ignition coil, it can cause the engine to crank for a long time before starting.
5. Viper DS4+ installation issue: The Viper DS4+ remote start system may not have been installed correctly, or it may have a defect that's causing the issue.

notify viper or installer for customer assistance

I got this free Pdf manual from
reliable-store for free and I don't think Ive visited a mechanic or fixya for help for more than 3-4 times out of all the times I fixed the chipper in these 4 years

I know you are looking to have the remote starter run a third time but I would say you need to look at your Fuel Pressure Regulator on the Scion. Sounds like it is not holding fuel pressure at the fuel rail and that is why it requires a third Crank

you push the ******(star)******* to start it .if it is not starting but starts with a key either wires have come off of remote starter or the remote starter has gone bad.

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.

are your brake lights functioning properly? remote starts sometimes use this as a fail safe, or a bent hood pin switch? Also It may need the tach reprogrammed if used. there may be a seperate fuse for the starter.
here is the link to the installation manual: http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/ig/viper/n4102v_2008_09_web.pdf
and the page regarding this issue: • The remote start will activate, but the starter never engages.
1. Check for voltage on the purple starter wire two seconds after the remote
start becomes active. If there is voltage present, skip to Step 4. If there is
not voltage present, advance to Step 2.
2. Check the 30A fuses.
3. If the gray/black wait-to-start wire is detecting ground upon activation, the
starter will not crank.
4. Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter side of the
optional starter kill/anti-grind relay.
5. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not
allow the vehicle to crank if active.
6. Check connections. The heavy gauge remote start input wires on the
heavy gauge 10-pin connector should have a solid connection. "T-taps"
or "scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge
wiring.
good luck.

There are two constant 12 volt wires at the ignition on this vehicle: blue and green. The red power (with fuses) wires from the Viper should be connected to either of the two. The ignition wire is yellow. The pink wire from the Viper should be connected there. The accessories are orange and white. The pink with white from the Viper should connected to one and the orange from the Viper should be connected to the other. Please note that the Pink with white should be programmed to act as an accessory (off during crank). The starter wire is red and the purple from the Viper should be connected there. Also check for a good ground connection.

For programming:
Press and hold "f" until LED lights solid (approximately 10 seconds), then press and hold remote starter button(circle w/arrow) until LED blinks three times and the amber transmit LED lights up.
Now you have to enter the remote control learn routine: Turn ignition on, within ten seconds press and release control button on antenna then, press and hold control button while pressing the lock button on remote. System will respond (horn/chirp/flashing parking lights) when holding control button and when pressing lock button on remote.

have your ignition relay for the remote start checked out.could b a blown fuse.

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.
