Have an 08 LTZ and it goes through the motions, ie; fuel pump primes, makes the necessary noises but does not crank at all. I DO have a check engine light on currently for fuel emissions, P0243 which I believe will be the canister. Does anyone know if the remote start will just not work if there is an engine code present?


NEWB, so any feedback appreciated!
