Ha, this exact same thing is happening to my girlfriend's ZX2. She has a remote start system installed, and everything worked fine last year. Then she had some random shop in the country do some maintenance on it and when she got it back the brain and all the wires were hanging down near the pedals. She tried to shove them all back up, and now her remote start doesn't work.

My guess is that either she or the shop disconnected the remote start wire when shoving wires all over the place. Her car still starts most of the time, but randomly it won't. I'm guessing since the brain lost it's connection to the starter altogether, the wire from the key is also loose, which causes it to not work sometimes. I told her to wiggle the steering wheel when it won't start, and it works every time.

Now I have to find some time to fix the wiring they messed up and double zip tie everything so they can't pull the wires out again.
