Anyone used Apexi turbo timer, i have a problem now!!!

[Keithhiap]

Hi all,

 

During this few days, when i turn my car engine, immediately, my car engine shut down.

Turbo timer did not kick in.

Turbo timer still counting down, and my car dashboard almost all the icons is lighted up.

 

 

 

1. I suspect Turbo timer faulty liao, cannot hold the engine idling till count down ended.

2. I suspect battery going to flat liao, but i dont have problem starting my car, which i doubt so.

 

Anyone encounter this before?

 

Thanks for reading

I got the same problem with my cheapo timer from china. To walk around the problem, I simply rev up the engine to 1 to 1.2k rpm, hold it there for 1 sec and switch off the ignition. It works everytime. It seems there's not enough power supply in the timer.

Its common for what you had mentioned to happen. It occurs occasionally with the exact scenario like you.

 

Nothing to worry about.

Well, this is an old thread but I am facing the same problem til I got a wire expert to solve it for me at midview building. He added a relay and another wire to boost up the timer module to par with the car ignition and now switch off the car key with engine running smoothly without cut out, stalling or stop and restart...

Can you please tell me how this was done? Any pictures? It would be MUCH appreciated. I am having similar problem when I shut the Car off it seems as though it is going to die then cuts back in and runs fine. I have spent hours trying to figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help!

Add a relay to "enhance" your ignition timing.

Hey dude that mechanic wasn't around these week when I tried to contact him. He'll be back in few days time and I'll tell you the details ya? Important thing is to add a relay to the timer module which is like the piece of thing with all the wires connected to it. Tell this to your mech and he'll figure out. If not I'll tell you the exact thing ASAP!
