I have a 2001 Honda Accord. It came with a factory intalled remote
starter and door locks. My problem is that my remote starter sometimes
starts normal. Other times, I can hear it cranking by will not start. I
have tried changing the battery but no luck.

Any idea what the problem is? How can I fix it?

Please reply to mannyt7@hotmail.com . Thanks for your time and
consideration.

Well, for starters, it is NOT a "factory installed" remote starter. It may
be dealer installed, but not factory. As a result of that info, you will
need to specify what make/model it is before anybody can help you.

Nope. If asked in Usenet, it is answered in Usenet so all can see.

Normal cranking, but no start can be caused by various systems:
ignition system, fuel system, etc. If you are having slow cranking, the
problem is with the battery or starter.

To check ignition system: Open hood and look for disconnected
spark-plug wires or vacuum lines. Crank the engine and check if each
disconnected plug wire is producing spark when close to engine body. To
start with the fuel system: press the valve on top of engine to see if
fuel is comming out.

If it happens when the car has been sitting over night, or the weekend,
you may have a dripping injector. The (aftermarket) starting system
doesn't know what the manual says about starting a flooded honda. Your
manual tells you how to start it, and the cure is a can of Techron
injector cleaner, or a few tanks of Gasohol.

Happened to my Odyssey, and the Gasohol cured it.

If it's VERY cold out, the manual tells you to hold the pedal 1/2 way to
the floor. If it's that cold, you should be using a block heater.

Honda doesn't officially 'endorse' remote starters. Your manual tells
you why.

If this only happened when you are using the remote starter.
Most likely the problem on the transponder by-pass module
used on the remote starter. First find out the brand name ,
and get a radio/remote starter installing shop to diagnose.
