Found this in my service manual related to the OEM remote start.
Turns out i was missing the extra press of the button on the remote...

The remote vehicle start (RVS) function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable, providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. RVS functions have an operating range of up to 195 feet, depending on conditions. The RVS sequence begins by pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the keyless entry transmitter. The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time an RVS is performed, the vehicle doors are locked, however they may then be unlocked/locked with the transmitter or vehicle key at any time. Once activated, the engine is allowed to run for 10 minutes. The RVS time may be extended by an additional 10 minutes by again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the transmitter. This feature is called a RVS continue and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of engine running. If the RVS continue is performed at 7 minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out, a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur. The RVS event may be suspended at any time by pressing only the RVS button on the transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning ON the hazard lamps.

In between ignition cycles, only 2 RVS events may occur or be attempted. Once 2 events or attempts have been made, future RVS events will be suspended until the vehicle is started using the ignition.

Installed the flashlogic remote start this evening. I was outside for about an hour, and I had some other wiring to redo for my mic that lives on the visor.

That thing is pimp as hell. For 120 bucks, it's an effin no brainer. 3 taps on the lock button and she starts.....3 more taps and she shuts off. Super easy to install, no splicing, no nothing. Awesome product.


Which one did you get? I see several model number options. And the install instructions are a bit vague.

Also you can just restart it after the 10 mins expires. Either way only 20 mins total and 2 start events can happen.

Does anyone have recommendations for valve cover bolt grommets? Mine were replaced when I did the valve cover gaskets and updated the “VLOM cover” but they almost look as though they are getting dry rotted. Probably too much brake clean overspray and excessive heat prior to replacing the broken manifold & bolts.
I also found that both the intake and the valve cover bolts were under torqued. I should have rechecked em after driving it for a while, especially since I had someone “helping” me with the swap.
I have to say though, so far I’ve been quite happy with my ACDelco 3/8” digital torque wrench. It’s real nice to have for the lb-in stuff. Anything on the high end of the lbf-ft scale is done with my 1/2” drive torque.

*for anyone scratching their head at my abbreviations or the order of expressions (pound-inch or pound-foot) it’s ok to be confused. The US education system has failed this country since the 1970’s. So before anyone wants to argue that both are correct, please feel free to take any one of the physics classes I teach and we can discuss this further. My nephew tried arguing this point with me and after explaining the laws and principles behind it I realized all hope was lost with the upcoming generation. Enough of my soapbox...who’s turn is it to climb up here?
