I have bought a GReddy Turbo Timer and have just fitted it. There was only three wires that go onto the ignition barrel... i fitted them and it all comes on, even reads the Voltage from the battery correctly.
Only problem is when i turn the ignition off the engine doesn't stay on, it switches off! Any ideas what could be up??

Is there a wire that goes to the Handbrake?

 

is it earthed correctly?

 

Yeah but it went too dark and i didn't have time to wire it.

 

bingo

 

LOL. The Turbo Timer needs to see that the Handbrake is on. Get the wire connected and it will work.

 

Thanks peeps will go sort it!

 

dunno if it is supposed to but mine turns off if i only turn the key back one notch, i have to do it quickly back to off position otherwise it just cuts out

 

so wot ur sayin is that the turbo timer not work if it`s not wired up 2 hand brake?i av a simalir problem with my blitz thort it worked a how hard the turbo ad been workin if any nows if this is the case on a blitz dual turbo timer it would B a BIG help cheers

 

all brands of turbo timer i have seen so far have a wire that needs to be wired to the handbrake.

it is a safety feature where if you leave you car running on the timer and some one gains access to the car and attempts to drive off in it when they put the handbrake down the car will cut out!

some people just connect the handbrake wire to earth if they don't want to use this feature

 

It also has a Speed sensor wire to turn it on when your moving....... any ideas where this would go on a series 1 thanks

 

anyone?

 

i have the blitz one. it has a built in boost gauge to work out how hard you ave been driving. so it needs plumping into a vacuum hose if you want to use this feature.

anyone?
