Strange Starting Problem

[Sundown94]

Wow, thank you for the advice Humtech!! This seems to be the most promising so far because indeed I do have an aftermarket remote starter installed (I bought the H2 one-year used and it was installed by the previous owner, so not sure what kind it is or where it is located). If I find the splice you are talking about and then disconnect it, does this indicate that my remote starter went bad? Could it actually be a problem with the splice (maybe the wires broke)? I will give this info to the mechanic since the truck is still sitting at his shop when I drove by today.

Thanks again!
