Did you have it professionally installed or did you install it yourself?
 






installed myself.... its not my first one thow i've done a few before i just cant figure out what the problem with this one is
 






I'd check the voltage on the 12v constant at the ignition to see if drops during startup. Should be a yellow wire in the steering column. There is also a red/blue wire in the steering column that goes to the starter.

yeah i have all that and it's fine.... the12volt.com is a great website to use for this stuff but it does me no good. everything is hooked up the way it is supposed to be i even ran the tach wire on this one so it when the motor is running and it still doesnt dissengage my starter
 






Hmm.. I'd wire a anti-grind starter relay honestly if you don't already have one..
 






Tach wire.
Check it again.
That's the wire that tells the module to stop sending a signal to the starter to disengage it.

That or get a real starter/alarm like a viper/valet/cobra. :p
 






hahha i was afraid someone may say that....they cost so much but maybee i gotta do it thanks alot....but just incase how do i go about wiring up an antigrind relay?
 






i double checked my tach wire and im getting a idle reading of 6.68 Volts and it increases when i rev the motor up to about 6.99 Volts... which means that I have the correct tach wire....im at a stump im thinking of jsut ripping out this one and buying a new one
