How can i get a remote start to work with my car?

You'll need one with a throttle kicker. Remote starts were available long before electronic fuel injection was made. The world didn't start in the eighties, after all.

What Vader said.

If you still have a q-jet you can use the ac idle compensator solenoid. I use to have one hooked up and it worked ok but I dident use it very often.

I prefer to go out, freezing cold or not. I just like the feeling of sitting in the seat, pushing in the clutch, pumping the gas, and turning the key. I just love that feeling. Yes, I am obseesed with my car.

The biggest concern would be that your car has to start the same way under all conditions (hot start, cold start, -35° +110° ) such as half a pump of the pedal, then crank for 3 seconds and be able to run unattended (no pumping of the throttle to keep it alive when cold). It would be easy to flood a warm engine, or starve a cold one.

The directions to your remote start unit should give you the wire diagram and IC wire from the unit. The way I hooked it up was to run my autostart option wire to the ac solenoid. The way mine worked it gave the solenoid power until the car started then cut out, this way it did not mess with the regular idle comp under ac load.
