<p>Apparatus for starting an engine from a remote location utilizes a telephonic signal (4) to a receiver (12) in a vehicle. The receiver (12), upon receiving the telephonic input (8), provides an output signal (14) which is appropriately amplified and transmitted to a flip flop (30) which provides two outputs, a high output (32) to start the engine (60) and a low output (34) to stop the engine (60). Engine starting circuitry (40), well known and understood in the art, is triggered by the high output (32) from the flip flop (30) to start the engine (60). The engine (60) may be stopped in either of two ways, either by shutting off the engine (60), with an ignition key, such as is standard, or the reception of a second telephonic signal (4). In both cases, the flip flop (30) is reset from its high output to its low output for stopping the engine (60). The pager (12) is reset at the end of its output signal (14) so that it is ready to receive the next telephonic signal (4) to trigger its output for either starting or stopping the engine (60), depending on the state of the flip flop (30).</p> |
