Is there anyone on here who knows about Clifford alarms?
I recently got a Concept 650 with the Intellistart installed. It was done by a friend who does them part time and certified by the company he works for.
Anyhow the unit is unable to start my car from cold in the mornings. In fact it just seems to have issues full stop.
I believe the problem is when it autostarts it does not give the fuel pump enough time to prime. On mine this takes say 2 seconds or just over. Intellistart gives it one and then starts the ignition. The engine never catches in time.
I've tried to increase the crank time to the longest 2.5 second setting but it still has problems. It also seems to forget the settings I enter at random and have trouble reading the rpm from the engine.
Can anyone suggest a way I can make it wait a little longer for the pump to prime before trying to start the car? There’s no option in the software, but I cannot believe I am the only person to have come across this.
Oh and FYI when I manually start the car from cold (with the key) and allow the pump the prime, it starts first time every time within a couple of turns - so maybe less than 2 seconds so there’s no faults with the starter or hesitation to start in the mornings.
All advice appreciated.
p.s. it starts just fine when warm
