Default Greddy Turbo Timer Question

After my timer finishes counting down, it cuts the engine off, but when the timer turns off, it turns back on and powers the car. I have the 12V wired to the white ignition, the blue wired to the yellow igntion wire, and the green wired to the black/yellow ignition wire. My ground is spliced into one of my gauges grounds which is grounded with one of the engine grounds. I am pretty positive my wiring is correct and everything looks connected. Any help is appreciated.

Unless you are really ripping on it right before you shut it down, a turbo timer isnt nessasary. Save your self the headache and sell it to someone stupid.

picture this, you're ripping around the timer is adding up time. you park your car and the timer keeps it running. Theives now have two reason to check out your car, one - it's running, two- it's turbo. Not a good combo because you'll get the smart thieves that want your turbo stuff and the dumb thieves that what a running vehicle.

Sell it, and just don't rip right before you park the car. Go around the block a few extra times if you need to.

Sounds to me like your running 12v back to your ignition. The blue wire is usually the remote wire, when it senses voltage it sends signal. If you have 12v hooked up to it and that inturn hooked up to ignition, then its getting a constant signal and turning the car on.

Could be wrong, its late over here.

So your saying I have the blue wire hooked up wrong? I am not sure if thats right, because I believe it was doing the same thing the blue wire connected to nothing.

Today I noticed the turbo timer work perfectly with the key still in the ignition. Everything turned off and stayed , but as soon as I took the keys out, the timer turned back on.

I hate this thing.
