Ok I don't have my alarm wired yet to be able to arm it when the turbo timer is running but anyway that shouldn't cause this:

I have my timer setup for 3 minutes on ACC, I had this problem yesterday then it stopped having issues and worked for a while, now i'm having issues again today. As soon as I take my key out and all it's fine, it keeps running but, I unlocked the doors, I open the door, as soon as my *** leaves the seat or my foot leaves the floorboard, the car shuts off, i've done it multiple times, i've waited up to a minute in the car, with door shut or door open, it runs fine but once I get up from the seat it shuts off, I thought maybe it was me hitting the steering wheel but I made sure not to touch it. Now wtf could be causing this? Is it maybe the shock sensor for my alarm? How can I fix this??? I'm so lost.

 

This is kind of a guess... but it does sound like your shock sensor is activating... but I am not 100% sure. If possible with that alarm, see if you can turn the sensativity of the shock sensor down and see if that solves the problem.

the thing is though, the alarm isn't even active when the turbo timer is running because I haven't installed the relay yet, so I don't know wtf is going on, I can't arm the alarm when the turbo timer is running.

I've investigated a little further and it only happens when my foot is on the floormat and if it leaves the floormat, the car shuts off, but if i carefully lift my feet off the pedals after i take my key out, and make my way out of the car without touching the floormat at all, the turbo timer runs fine, but if i get out normally and usually i slide my left leg out of the door, slide my right foot back to the middle of the floor mat and use both legs to lift myself out, as soon as that foot leaves the floormat the car will shut off, WTF!??!

 

Sounds to me like a wiring problem. Double check the wires, I would recommend any connections be soldered. See if that helps, I wish I could see it for myself though...

it cant possibly be wiring though, I used the SVE wiring harness all I did was plug in the ignition harness's to the extensions and plugged the SVE pig tail into my turbo timer, there was no soldering involved =/. I'm gonna look under my carpet this weekend and see wtf could possibly be able to know if my foot leaves the damn carpet.

If it is somekind of static discharge problem, then maybe a ground wire from the chassis of the timer to a good groundpoint under the dash, [steering column brace]

Also have you checked at Forced Induction 94

 

do you think that maybe a bad ground place could cause it? I have it grounded to some bolt that is on the firewall right in front of the clutch.

thanks for your help fcm, wired it to the factory ground wire on the cigarette lighter harness and this is no longer a problem, thank god .
