Electrical problems are difficult enough to solve without added complications. Having to translate someone's explanation of them into an understandable format adds to the difficulty of solving the problem. It is very easy for some important detail to get lost in the translation.

Sounds like you might have a vacuum leak, among other things. Open the hood and let it run and listen for a hissing sound. Check all of your vacuum lines. See if you can pull any computer codes. If you had a remote starter and then it was removed it could well be electrical as stated. Try giving information in short bits and maybe we can digest it better.
