I had the same problem with mine. You can hear it turning the engine over then just stop. It did however actually start up one day out of the blue when I tried it. But Louis answered my problem.

- There is an emission control system malfunction.

Something about no cat and no EGR rings a bell here.



Sidethought: My personal opinion but remote start is a joke. Having a car idling running pig rich from being cold. Burn through gas like no other when I could actually be moving down the road while increasing engine temperature faster. Man up and deal with the climate, we can accommodate ourselves for things like that.
