starting up problem..

[Chevyrider619]

Yeah got a problem.. Truck is running fine but,today i tried to remote start it just to warm it up and it dint wanna start.. So i went and turned it on manually and it hesitaded but it turned on.. About a week or two it did the same thing..I have an optima battery with a 150 or 200 alternator not dure something like that..So me ppl were saying that the cold weather can be the cause,is this true?? and if it is,what can be done??

If I can take a stab at it.

The picture in your avatar shows about a 90's model truck?

My first question is - is the remote start factory installed or did you do it yourself or pay someone to install it for you?

Working in a garage, one of the most often asked questions is - why does my remote start not work?

The answer is not a single answer, but a complex series of questions and answers.

Things like - who installed it, what condition is the electrical system in the truck in. Things like the coil and the spark plug wires and the spark plugs.

After all - you are there and I am here.

Sometimes it is related to how the remote starter was installed and other times it is related to the box it's self.

I just had to change my starter. If you turn your key and it makes a small tick noise once and then starts after a few trys, its your starter. Im prolly way off but thought id contribute
