At a displayed (3) time, set by key-pad (2), a dashboard unit (1) closes the ignition circuit (5) and operates the starter solenoid (6), provided satisfactory oil and cooling water levels are confirmed by sensors (8,9) - opt., via standard equipment gauges. The starter (10) is operated for a predetermined time; opt., and preferably by reference to a rotation sensor (11), or a revolutions counter circuit, the controller disconnects it only when a satisfactory engine speed has been attained. Several unsuccessful starting attempts are allowed. Preferably, the vehicle has an automatic choke. For diesel engines, the program initiated by radio or infra-red remote transmitter when the vehicle is needed. |
