VPUPPY,

Thanks for your reply

The key is in the box and I verified the engine starts WITH the key prior to putting it in the box. Verified +12V and ground to the box (the only 2 connections) and I can hear the relays clicking in there when I activate the start unit.

I think it's a problem with positioning the coil around the key cylinder. When I test by holding a key near the ig switch it pretty much has to be in front of the key slot as though it were actually IN the switch. If I hold a key anywhere else (like on the side of the switch, under it, near the factory transponder unit above the switch, etc) the engine won't start. No matter where I hold the inductive loop the engine does not start

Any other thoughts ??
