    Hi,

    Having some trouble deciphering this diagram. Have everything else working with the alarm, just not the remote start. I have the relay hooked up but the green wire that simply says 'motor' i have no idea where to connect to, and the yellow wire that points back to the alarm unit I also have no idea what to connect to. Any ideas?

    Also can't work out what the little diagram means underneath, where it talska bout 'wire method for start testing'

    Looking at that the relay is to go inline with the wire from the start section of the ignition switch.

    It also looks like it uses a inductive pickup on the low pressure oil switch. The zed hasn't got one of those, so you will have to add one.

    Hmm, any more info on how that can be done, or if I can use a different wire?

    Yellow wire must pick up a ground most likely from the alarm. Green wire pointing to engine goes to the starter solenoid.

    by the looks of it that relay is just for the immobiliser side of things as it cuts out the power to the starter solenoid, the yellow wire will attach to a negative output so that it will trigger the relay. I would say that if you have all the wires hooked up as shown on the ignition switch it should work, that is assuming that it doesnt need any other sensor wires to make it start.(i.e handbrake trigger) its a bit hard to tell with only that much of the wiring diagram.

    Based on your circuit diagram the "Yellow" wire of the relay, which has the start circuit would connect to the "Yellow" in the bottom of the picture, Below the 10A (fuse)white wire.

    The Relay appears to be a starter imobilsation untill the alarm system "trips" the relay for the start process.

    Ivan129 is right in the yellow would earth through the alarm to close the circuit during the start process.

    Actually based on experience I would say that the white yellow and orange combined with the same colours with the black trace would be for the central locking.

    I put a remote start into my Z31 and both I and an alarm installer were stumped with a similar sounding wire. It ended up being a wire we wrapped around the coil input cable, it was wrapped about 20cm worth then covered with that ribbed wire conduit. It tells the remote start to keep cranking until the car starts.

    I bet this wire is the one described in step 3 of the box below the ignition key.

    I was going to add before, That is correct, the alarm looks for a signal input so it knows when the car is running, if you cant run it around the coil wire because it had coilpacks like the z32 then you can run it to the back of the alternator but you will have to test the wire, use a testlight to check each of the wires coming out of the back of the alternator, one should have power only when the car is running.

    you might like to check with your insurers before activating a remote start system ....

    Ok, so I got the bastard to start (its wired up like the diagram above). It also doesnt 'overstart' and keep the starter motor going while its on, so it knows its on. Problem is it turns off after like 4 seconds... any ideas?

    what the brand of the alarm system mate?

    did you wire up the tacho wire?

    if you didnt, the alarm would be working off a a voltage sensor most likely anything about 13v to stay on. it would sense the 13v and a slight drop and will think the car is not on.

    wire up the tacho wire and try again.
    if this doesnt help bring it to someone to have a look at.

    Is the fuel pump powered? And check to make sure its still running. The engine might be running from the residual fuel in the fuel rail. Thats could be why the engine only runs for a few seconds.

    Brand name is 'Tenon' but is very similar to pretty much all of the cheaper alarms found on ebay.

    Pretty sure the fuel pump is powered, everything seems to be running fine before it turns off. It does this 3 times (runs for 3 seconds, turns off) so pretty sure pump is powered.

    The alarm has no tacho wire connection (as seen in diagram) - I might post up the full booklet (for its comedic value if nothing else)

    Just wanted to say I got this working, there was in fact a wire that connects to the tach (it was labled dynomod wire or something stupid). It was one of the 5 brown wires the alarm has coming out of it :rolleyes:
