ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor based system for remote starting of an automobile engine includes circuitry for automatically actuating an accelerator of the automobile to effect starting of the engine, circuitry for energizing the starter motor for a predetermined number of seconds, repeating energizing of the engine a predetermined number of times if the engine does not start, and providing a predetermined delay between each energizing of the automobile engine. A remote transmitter transmits a start command to a receiver located in the automobile, causing the receiver to cause an algorithm stored in the microprocessor to attempt to start the engine and control certain accessories. A fail-safe accessory control algorithm stored in the microprocessor system effects energizing and de-energizing accessory control motors in accordance with signals from position sensors which detect positions of moveable components of an accessory and effects de-energizing the accessory control motor after a predetermined number of seconds if a position sensor signal does not indicate that the accessory component being moved has actuated a position sensor.
