A remote start is either an aftermarket option to start your car by remote control (to warm it up before you get in) or a starter jumper button used by mechanics to force the starter on from under the hood. You could do the same thing with a piece of wire but...

I don't think it's the ignition switch since it passed the BRAKE light test, and the plugs fire while cranking.

You really should step back and then methodically do the whole drill of "cranks but won't start" checks such as I mentioned in post #6.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I have started over. When I attempt to start the vehicle, I see that the light on the ECU flashes twice then turns off. Any ideas?
