Turbo Timer Going Nuts!

[jonesl]

hey guys.

I have a Greddy turboo timer. set to low '30 sec' during the day no matter how hard i drive it does not go up.

however night time. as soon as i put the lights on it starts counting.

or if i put the heater/cooler on, it also counts very high.

when i switch these off, it gradually goes back down to 30 seconds.

does anyone know why it is doing this.

thanks.

you put the lights on and it starts counting down?

The greddy turbo timers have 2 settings for countdown, auto and manual (I guess you would call it)

basically in maual (P1 and P2 i think, been a while since i looked at mine sorry) it will do whatever you tell it to do and thats it

on auto it will say Lo and Hi i think and in either of these settings it uses your battery voltage to determine/guess engine RPM and adjust to suit, so if you rev it lots it will go up and if u dont rev it much it will stay around 30 maybe a bit more

so what you want is P1 or P2.... If this is the problem and its not some funky electrical issue lol

Oh cool. I think its on P1 at the moment. so my acc's must be drawing alot of power i guess thats why its counting so quicly regardless of how i drive. I thought it may be an electrical Gremlin. Lol.

thanks for clearing that up.
