Car Wont Turn Off :s

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

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. :D 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

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!!

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)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
