Geez Philip that's a real funny one ... even if the car was equipped with remote start, it's hard to imagine what kind of malfunction would cause what you describe ... if it was my old Camaro my first instinct would be to look for a short somewhere between the battery and the starter ... but our cars shouldn't be able to start at all under any circumstances without a PATS key in the ignition, so given that and the display anomoly - yeah, I'd guess it's something to do with the ECU. Is there any chance the weird wiring might be some kind of PATS bypass?
