Merv, its the alarm causing that.

Try to reset the alarm. With the key fob, hold both buttons (lock / unlock or arm / un-arm) down on the fob together until the horn beeps at you a few times. 2 or 3, can’t remember. That should get it reset. If that doesn’t work there’s a more complicated procedure. Try this method and see.

Thank you. Will try this first and fingers crossed it will fix it.

Hi, tried the double press on the remote and got a double beep shortly after pressing and system armed on dash, but it seemed that no matter how long I held it there was no beep after that, car would still not start but it seemed better and nearly went. Does it matter if the system has to be armed first?

Glad it all worked out Merv!! Dan Cragin a great guy! I’d suggest you take it to him for service but it’s a long way from the UK to his shop

Hi Guys, hope some one out there can help, I work at a garage that has recovered a 1994 RT10. The owner has kept it off the road for some considerable time but has kept up the charge with slow charger, The info we were given is that it will only start and run for a few seconds, it has happened on him once before but started after he grounded out the lead on the alarm, (please do not laugh as he thought grounding the system meant the planet we live on, not realising it meant the vehicle earth/ground ) how ever the key fob does work as the dash displays system armed and if you open the door the alarm does go off, disarming and opening the door the alarm does not go off. We have both the key and reg document to confirm ownership even though we have known him to own this vehicle for some time, I have checked the fuel pump relay and powered up the pump which works fine, also when you turn on the ignition you can hear the fuel pump running, but it will still start when cranking and fun for a few seconds. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks for reading such a long posting. Merv
