    (Help me pleas3!) my car wont start with key

    Long story shot!
    My car is 97 GT standard trans without Factory Keyless
    I bought my car with remote starter (Avital Avistart 5303)
    Since its battery was quiet old, i didn't realize about it. I just turned the radio on for half an hour without running . then my car could not start for awhile with the remote and key
    I lately removed entire remote start and keyless system out of my car. Nothing ! No click on starter relay when starting
    Anyway, I can start by jumping 14 gauge wire directly from positive to starter terminal.
    I already tested
    - starter cable has 11-12.5volt by multimeter measuring
    - ignition relay ( yellow one) under dash is good
    - when turn the key on or start position , there is no power to safety switches ( top& bottom ones located on clutch folk)

    Any helps would be appreciated.

    The remote starter likely is (was) spliced into the ignition and/or starter circuits similar to an "immobilizer" in it where they the ignition wire and inserted a relay. The original ignition wires will need to be re-spliced together.

    I looked up that starter, whatever wires that were connected to Purple and Green on the remote starter need to be connected to each other.. that should fix it.

    I believed I reconnected bigger (14awg) ignition wires back to original that were spliced to AVITA system.

    I'd be back here for updating
    The small wire that connected to starter was loosing due to there was damage plug and wire came loosely.
    Fixed up by getting it Repined and now starting good.
