The remotes are programmed out of the box, but since you already did it, no big deal. It sound like your hood pin may not be getting pushed all the way down (you DID install the hood pin, didn't you?) Pop the hood, unplug the wire from the pinswitch and try again. If the hopod pin wire is grounded the system will act completely dead(on the remote start side)
Also, I can't remember, did you tach learn the system? It might not start if you have not. With you tach wire connected to the tach output, start the car, and within a couple seconds push and hold hte little black valet switch in and the LED should come on solid. If it doesn't, you have a tach reading problem, check you wiring and connections, and try again. I have had some vehicles that would not tach learn, but they are most dodge diesels, I can't remember any problems with fords.
Call me whenever you are ready. I should be at the shop all weekend working on Poorhouse's rabbit. Call me on my cell, I don't answer the shop phone on weekends.
