Abstract
An automatic starting system for a vehicle includes a starter circuit, a battery and an internal combustion engine with a throttle-gas pedal linkage. The starting system includes a clock and remote-control receiver and transmitter combination which are electrically connected to the battery and operable to be energized for selectively connecting a current signal from the battery to the balance of the system. An arrangement of timer circuits is provided and suitably arranged for electrically coupling the current signal from the system energizing means to the starter circuit of the vehicle. An actuator and vacuum pump combination enables the throttle-gas pedal linkage to be pumped when such pumping is the required or appropriate as a part of the recommended method to start the vehicle engine. The system includes an arrangement of timers for alternately energizing and deenergizing the gas pedal pumping arrangement and these timers are cooperatively arranged, one with respect to the other, such that one timer cycles on and off within the time-on interval of a second connected timer. Still further timers of the system are responsive to the time interval that the vehicle engine has been o…
