Problem installing turbo timer... - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #11806 2 posts Started by XSTeknique
Well, upon trying to install the turbo timer (Starbo B-11 made by Denso) that came with my front clip yesterday. Spliced into the ignition harness, used the 12V, grounded to the chassis and played around with the IGN1 and IGN2 wires to figure out which was correct. Well, when done wrong, the starter keeps starting even after the engine is on, and I have to turn off the TT to make it stop. So I switch the wires. Now the car starts properly, but when i turn the motor off, the starter keeps starting for the duration of the time I set the TT for. If I remove the TT wire from IGN 1 and leave TT connected to IGN 2, it leaves the fan and some interior lights on until the time is up. WTF IS GOING ON? This TT itself is VERY straight forward in its buttons, but seems to be auto-starting instead of counting down the idle. I really can't find any information on this, in English anyway. Seems to be a very Japanese specific item. There are only 4 wires attached to the turbo timer: 12v, ground, IGN1 and IGN2 (I THINK). Other than that...I'm lost. Thanks!
You are tapping into the wrong wire for the ignition.....
look right under the dash directly at the back of the key ignition
you will see the wires you need to tap into
they sould be like black with and orange stripe and black with a white stripe
hopefully you find em
hope you get it going
