So, for the CEL (Check Engine Light), try this:
Key in ignition.
Cycle the key to ON then OFF then ON then OFF Then ON (do not turn to start and turn the engine over during this process)
See if your "check engine light" starts flashing. If it does, write down the number of flashes. 3 flashes pause 2 flashes is a code 3-2
But I digress. Yeah, I smell an issue with that remote start. Do you blow a fuse when you use that? Rather than a manual key start?
I elect rooster. LOL

check the wire harness on the left side rear valve cover area. the harness rubbs through on the headbolt and shorts out the asd feed to the fuel injectors. splice 122 feeds the coil and injectors as well as the 02 sensors.
