Please test evo in "Standalone" mode. Enable C1 and D1 and remote start using only the factory keyfob.

If it starts reliably lets's say 20 times in a row in standalone mode, then you will need to look at the communication between the viper unit and the evo.

finally got the car back in today. was able to figure it out with tech support over the phone. Light blue on the 20 pin EVO-ALL harness has to be connected to pin 4 at the PTS harness when doing a hardwire installation

Yes, we spoke on the phone yesterday, and I'm glad all is working fine now.
