Trying to install Viper 160XV remote start in 2001 4Runner. No factory alarm, not sure if it has immobilizer.
When I try to start the truck with key in "OFF" position, it cranks but the engine doesn't start. But when I turn the key to "ON", it DOES start with remote. However, it doesn't matter if I use the black factory key or a key copy, it starts in the "ON" position either way. When the truck starts, the brain keeps "clicking" on and off, like it still wants to keep trying to start, or doesn't "know" that the engine has started. Since I'm using the tach wire, I would think the brain would recognize the engine is running and stop trying to start.

Is this a wiring problem, or is there something wrong with the brain?
