Flashes are 3 then one when key is pushed not 3 then 3 which states vehicle is running and its not thanks for any help.

Instead of using datalink, try wiring remote starter tach input to the tach ouput of the EVO directly and reprogram.

To add to the above. The CS/CM800 seems to not have a selectable datalink protocol. Meaning the the Compustar and the EVO are most likely not talking the same language over datalink. This would definitly cause no start issues. The EVO can be set to any of the 3 major datalink protocols: Fortin, D2D, and AP-OFA datalink. It would need to be set to OP-OFA in this case.

 
Wire-to-Wire instead of datalink is also an option if you do not have access to the flash-link updater.
