Remote Starter

[AeR0]

so i had my remote starter installed about 2 yrs ago and it has never gave me any kinds of problems and than i had my engine replaced and my mechanic disconnected the remote starter my question is i have this black box and i plug in all the wires and the wires for my antenna and as soon as its all plugged in my car trys starting? is this normal or is there a problem ?

any advice or help?

id let it start once, it may need to cycle to set up, although, i have 0 experience with remote starters, what could it hurt to let it start?

so basically your just guessing?

i need for sure answers before i go back out and start playing with it.

Chances are it won't start if you let it attempt to start. Tach signal may need to be reprogrammed, as well as your passlock bypass (if its in a 96-05 GA). Hard to say, if it was profgessionally installed take it back and have them go overthe install.

what will happen if i plug it all in and try and let the car start?

if i am understanding you correctly, you are saying your car is attempting to start after you plugged in wires er connected a black box? if that is the case, it appears there are some wires crossed or shorting out, kinda like hot wiring a car...if that's the case, unless you are proficient with wiring and/or the patience to chase electrical grimmlins, i would take it back to the mechanic that did your new engine let him/her look it over, aparently when they were doin the engine, they mucked something up
