Auto Start(Compustar) not working

I had my 2 way compustar alarm and auto start for a year now. The problem is that after the snow last week the auto start stopped working. You can hear the car cranking but it does not go through. However, manually starting the car works.

Any ideas that I should check first before bringing it to a shop? It worked fine before the snow(cold temp) we had last week.

Sounds like it may be an issue with an immobilizer "by-pass" module perhaps. Or maybe tach sensing needs to be programmed. All depends on how it was installed and/or how it was set up.

What kind of car is it? If you can go to the original installer you should be able to have it fixed under warranty.

Sounds like you need to adjust the crank time. As your battery gets older amd temperatures drop, takes longer the crank.

Thanks for your response guys! Car is a 2006 Honda Civic. I'll just get in touch with the original installer as I don't know how to check those things that you mentioned.

Thanks again.
