LMC5 Gremlins
Just installed the LMC5 about 2 weeks ago as a preventive measure. Prior to install I had no problems with Service Column Lock or Remove Key - 10 sec alarms. Today I started the car and twice got the Remove Key - Wait 10 seconds and the fuel appeared to cut off as the car stalled. Pulled out the key - waited a few seconds and restarted with no problems. The car had been started several times prior to this afternoon with no issues so now I'm really puzzled. Is it time for a call to Compliance?

Just a thought.....Did you install the brown wire then cut the other brown wire loop? The instructions are on the second page of the LMC5 install manual.

I had an issue and it was my install. I assumed I needed to do the brown wire (I didn't, but it isn't an issue that I did) as well after the initial install, so I did only to still have the issue.
I called Richard and he walked me through step by step, found where I put the wire in the wrong hole (mine had a space since I don't have a vert and I put the wrong wire in the wrong hole
) and got me rolling.I wish there were more products I could buy from Richard. He was awesome and didn't even make me feel stupid.

I had the same problem, recently posted about it in another thread. The brown wire fix fixed it for me (so far). According to Richard, this affects about 1 in 200 C5's and there should be no more issues.

I had no idea there was a 5 wire LMC5 but I see that you are still having issues. Mine is perfectly fine other than the annoying message. Crazy stuff indeed. lolz

I installed my LMC5 several months ago and I keep getting the annoying pull key wait 10 secs also. I only did it as a preventative measure. However, when I had my car tuned I had the fuel cut off limit raised so I would never have to worry about that issue.
