Car Wont Turn Off :s

[morbsy]

While i was at work today, i noticed that my car wouldn't turn off. I have a HKS turbo timer installed thats made to run for 1 min after the keys have been taken out. But today when i got to work i went inside and about half an hour later i came back and the car was still on. So i went out there and pushed the off button on the turbo timer, still no luck. nothing would turn it off. So i put it in first, and stalled it so it would stop, (only way i could think of other than fuses + battery)

Now, i had an alarm / immobiliser system fitted the day before, but it worked fine the day i had it put in. Would this have anything to do with it?

Opinion? Ideas?

Thanks guys

id say if it didnt do it before the alarm/immob then that would have something to do with it.

alot of tt's do cause problems with alarms.

some alarms dont go well with turbo timers you got to go get it checked out, thats what happen to me i ended up gettin a new alarm system WITH turbo timer

i ended up gettin a new alarm system WITH turbo timer

alot harder for cops to detect.

i had a stand alone tt in my car ages ago, i took it out cos i just dont see the need for it, its not worth the defect.

yeah my tt hides under the dash and sits there, if a cop pulls me over i just switch it to off its not even visible if you look under the dash

i can see the reason behind a tt for a track car maybe, thats when they really need to sit and cool down for a bit.

[morbsy]

yeah, mine came with the car so i guess ill just leave it on until it becomes a hassle. How do you remove them anyway? Cut the wires and tape them?

[ted180]

depends how theyve been installed.

most common is splicing them into the ign. usually with clips, pretty easy to unclip.

sorry, hijacked.

what everyone else has said, its most likely your alarm not working well with the turbo timer

and you dont really need to have the turbo timer sent for a minute. 10-15 seconds tops if your just street drivingand even then thats abit much. longer your cars running with the tt its easier for it to be stolen :s

Solution.. Have it removed.

You don't need it. UNLESS you drive like an idiot everywhere foot flat to the floor, pull up with your seat belt off and instantly turn the car off.

Over 7 years and 200,000+ km's I've never ran a turbo time and never had issues with coking and I've removed the turbo and oil lines to check. All clean as a whistle.

Everyone has made the valid point mate....you wont have that problem with a Greddy Unit lol.....yeah personally i have a TT installed but i sit in the car and wait for it to shut off anyway so now i dont see the point in getting that done.......and yeah 1 minute is way too long....i was told by my tuner that 30-40 secs maximum.....and with the greddy units the time goes up if you are doing a spirited hills driving or something......but most of the time it just stays at 30 secs

Not at the moment you can't

Just remove it.

yea by the time u grab all your stuff from ur glove box etc that will be more than enough time for your car to cool down.

At the end of the day a tt isnt so much for your car not to overheat but to let the turbo cool down and not buckle the wheels!! We learnt the hard way on our race car after thrashing on the track and went to shut down straight away, but in saying this we were "thrashing hard" as you do on the track, so for everyday driving like prob the most of us we dont need them, wait 5-15 sec in the car when you pull up and then shut her down!!

[Tangles]

on the road, simply dont boost into positive presure for the last 3mins, to let the turbo cool down naturally

I turned my TT off the 1st day I got the car. heaps of wires, so I wont remove it, but just keep it turned off.

(went to fill up after picking up the car from int.transport, 3mins later at petrol pump it finally turned off.... embarresing with the line up lol)

[gtrkiet]

yea i think this whole tt thing has been covered before lol

[morbsy]

I just removed the TT, car still wont turn off with it removed :[

I reckon i'll just have to take it back to autobahn, obviously something dodgy they have done with the wiring

[SLED]

someone has messed with your ignition dude

[gtrkiet]

LOL AUTOBAHN!
