I just installed the remote starter solenoid as outlined in the tech section. The car starts up every time; however, the starter motor doesn't disengage until about 2-3 seconds after the car has started. What I hear is the typical high pitched metal on metal/gear on gear sound.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Oh, just to note: I have the lifetime guarantee starter from O'rielly's so when I pulled my old starter out, I exchanged it for a new-rebuilt one. Possibly could it be the starter or the new remote solenoid??

 

Shouldn't this be in the Electronics board?

A lot of remote starter have either a timed solenoid, or an RPM switch, either of which you can choose.

I would find out if yours has an RPM switch and hook it up. Most of them release the starter after the RPMs have reached ~400.

 

From what I can see there is not an adjustable RPM switch on this solenoid. If it's timed how can that be changed or can I get another solenoid with different timing? The solenoid I have is a Borg Warner part that is supposedly equivalent to the Wells solenoid F496 used in the tech article.

 

I just realized you're talking about doing this.

Never mind. I though by "remote start" you meant the ones you can start your car from inside the house to warm the car up.

From what you're experiencing, I'd look at replacing the solenoid. It sounds as though it's staying closed longer than it should be.
