advanced timing.... I havent seen this problem for years... Good old torana's were king for this problem....

I reckon you have a wiring fault. Cause if your dash lights and tacho keep working then its not pre-ignition. I could not be pre-ignightion.

Is there a hidden turbo timer??? Cause if their is maby its set to like 10 minutes or something stupid.

If you have not timer then someone has played with your ignightion wires. If it does have a timer then check its instalation and its setting.

I dont believe it is a turbo timer problem as the tt is switched off has been for the past month or so dont use it could it be a relay, aac sticking or something as the engine just keeps running i have to stall it to turn it off

If it actually runs like the TT is working or the ignition hasn't been switched off, then it's an electrical problem that is holding the ignition circuit open / on. Why not switch the TT on, even set for 30 seconds, and see if it will turn the engine off.

If you look at the wiring diagram, you can see that the switched ignition supply goes straight to the injectors, coil as well as the ecu power relay etc.

Something is allowing power to run through the ignition to all the above hardware.

Nothing will be sticking that will cause this.

Remove your turbotimer wiring for starters and i would be suprised if this problem does not go away.

i was wondering if you could help my car has an alarm fitted as well as not having a igntion harness so the wires have been spliced into. My belief is the timer is a switch and you would have to cut a igntion wire and then bypass through the timer and wire it back into the igntion wires on the other side. If i am correct which colour wire would you have to re wire to form the circuit again.

how long does it keep running for?

Is it the same everytime?

Can you please help my car wont switch off when i have turned the ignition off and pulled the keys out would someone please tell me what i could have alook at or what things need to be fixed

did you just get a new alarm?

I had this problem after my new alarm was installed, some of them come with inbuilt turbo timers and you can adjust the time or completely switch them off.

I just turned it off and use my original turbotimer

      V36 wreck (edited from V37 by mod)

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.

      Is it oil smoke or fuel smoke? They smell different.
