remote starter grand am problem

I have installed a remote starter on a 2000 grand am, but can not get it to work correctly. it turns over fires runs for about .8 - 1.0 sec then stalls. ignition stays active fuel stays active so its not them, but i cannot figure out why. The system i am installing is a compustar (1wam-as) remote starter and alarm system the alarm part was hard to install but i did get there, (bad car to work on). the car starts normal when you use the key ,the problem is only with remote starting. any help out there thanks Steve.
