Sometimes. If your car is a 2003 or older, usually. I had a 2002 Toyota and I put in an a autostart. Huge mistake! It shorted my entire electrical system and I had to have my car rewired. I had went to a body shop to have mine installed so I figured they would cover the costs. No. Hidden in the paperwork I filled out was a waiver that released the body shop from any costs. I talked to the mechanic and he told me that if you want to put an auto start in your car, its best to have it done by the dealership and to never have one put in an older car because they will most likely short your electrical system. I did a little research and I actually got off lucky. Several people have had their cars' catch fire.

Yes reving a car or any engine with valves can mess up the engine you?

If I understand correctly, you mean that if you rev up high any engine with valves on it, shall you mess up the engine? My answer is no, and yes. Bear with me.... an engine uses valves to control the intake of fuel and expulsion of exhaust, if you rev it up, you won't damge the valves instantly, so you can do that. But if you leave the engine revved up high, or keep it revving high for a long time, keep in mind that the valves are opening and closing many times per second (try 50 times per second), therefore the valves will start wearing, and yes you will eventually mess it up. Hope my response helped...
