    What car is it fitted to?did you use a harness or hardwire it?
    Is it fitted to a car with an alarm?

    Is it reading engine rpm and speed when you scroll through? If not it won't operate properly as the Apexi timers use the rpm and speed to calculate how long to keep the engine running.

    Are you spot on that you have the correct wires spliced into?
    Sounds like the ignition wire/s from the turbo timer are attached to the acc on the car's loom.

    Does it have a factory immobiliser if so it will not work.

    Also any alarm will probably cut ignition and maybe one or more systems meaning the turbo timer will not work.

    Depending on the alarm it may be dooable or not. You'll need an auto electrician if its complicated.

    Acc = Accessory switch, ie when you turn your key and the radio will come on but not the ignition. Get a multimeter out and test the wire if your not sure, it should read 12v constant on ignition and turning over, if it doesnt you have it on the wrong wire.

    Dont worry about the alarm for the time being, you can easily make a turbotimer bypass with a relay so the alarm will arm with the car running.
