ok, yesterday i was leaving my friends house and i went to start the car, it was turning over fine but woulnt fire and i was like huh? so i took the key out and all my lights came on that normally come on when you start the car. so i put the key back in and started it, then the timer started counting down, and when it hit zero it turned the car off in the middle of traffic :mad: so now i have to turn the key forward, wait for the timer to set, then start it, and keep adding time while im driving :mad: anyone know how to fix this>? i already tried dissconnecting the battery for a while............. please help :cry:
 
What kind of timer is it? If its anything like my Greddy, then you're probably on the mode before P1 and P2 (I forgot the name) which add time depending on how long you're using the accelerator.
 
Mark, I think you misunderstood his post. He's not having a problem with how long the turbo timer is running the car after he takes the key out of the on position. He's having a problem with the turbo timer counting down and shutting off the car while he still has the key in the on position (i.e. while driving).

Anyway, it sounds like it's wired incorrectly. There's no way a TT would come with a function as dangerous as what you're discribing so it's not a setting that needs to be adjusted. Was the TT installed with a harness or was it hardwired in? You should inspect the wires and make sure that there are no loose connections or shorts.
