no. in all of the installs I haev done with that unit it only kills the ign circuit. IN NO WAY was it tied to any sensor. now if you have an idling problem I would be looking for codes on the computer. I would also have a spare airflow sensor handy. that sound more like your problem than the alarm.

food for thuoght- if you have had a shot at teh fitter for this problem - apologise pls.

actually i have one with a built in turbo timer. theres a seperate button to turn off the car too if you think its running too long. i do notice when the car is idling and i arm the alarm it sounds like the car drops in revs slightly but notably. also i have had the car/alarm 5 weeks now and twice it failed to disarm!! i ended up looking like a car thief wandering around for 5 mins pressing the clicker until it decided to disarm. so far so good...but for how long...???

I do not usde the turbo software on those. placement of the module affects teh remote though. I usuall extand the antenna on them. the one I have on my car has never faulted.

I have one on my 4dr.

No problem at all.

I have just had a Greddy FATT fitted last week. It does drop in revs just while the car arms itself then goes back to normal idle range.

Besides that there is no problem with my alarm at all.

Yeh as the guy above said. I hope u didnt have a crack at the installer. And if it was his fault ppl make mistakes.

But good luck with it all anyway mate.
