There is a sequence necessary to set the Viper every time you exit the vehicle: park the vehicle, put in neutral, place foot on brake, set parking brake,remove foot from brake, remote start vehicle with remote, remove key (vehicle should remain running), exit vehicle and close door, arm the alarm with remote (vehicle should shut down). The system is now set for MTS remote start. Test the system by remote starting the vehicle now (it should remote start at this point). If you open any door after the MTS remote start has been set, you will have to do the programming sequence again.This is a safety feature because something may have changed, i.e. parking brake released when the door was opened. You have to do this sequence each time you park the vehicle if you intend to use the remote start feature.
If this does not work, there may be an issue with the installation, i.e., the door trigger connection. Using dome supervision as a door trigger won't work because during the arming portion of the above mention programming sequence(when the vehicle shuts down), the interior lights will illuminate and the Viper will read it as a door opening. So, actual door trigger wires must be used.

The problem you have described do not sound remote start related. A remote start unit does not have the ability to alter the RPM. The remote start system only replicates the process of turning on the ignition, starting the engine and keeping it running for a predetermined length of time.
The heater temperature problem should not be remote starter related either.
As for the day time running lights, although rare, if wired inproperly there is the possibility that the remote starter has caused it to fail. This will have to be determined by a qualified technician.

Your alarm may have lost the tach signal, that was learned to it, when it was originally installed. That would cause the remote start to try starting the vehicle over and over again, until it finally stays running, because it can't read the engine speed to know it's running.
If you can find the valet push button switch in your vehicle, try this; Start your car with the key and immediately after it starts, press and hold that valet push button switch until the alarm led on the dash stays lit up or the park lights flash. Then, release the valet switch, shut the car off and try remote starting it. That is the procedure to re-learn the tach signal. Hope it works for you.
