so, i knew it would happen @ some point. i run turbo timers in most of my cars, even NA ones (makes it easier if you want to hop out quick or great for warm up in the winter...). yesterday i fired up my MX-6 and set the TT (blitz FATT DC2) to 10 min to let it warm up enough to retime it.....i then got stuck doing other things and didn't get back out to it for 4h or so....only to find the car still running! the TT was stock @ 1 min 40 sec. my best guess is the SW in the TT got stuck or just errored out, seems to be fine afterward. not like it's a huge deal, but still scary....and it's no good for a car to idle for 4h straight. moral of the story? be careful!
turbo timer crash/failure...

Ouch! Did the car overheat? You'd think it would sitting there idling for 4 hours! Glad everything seems ok though...
My supra ran for 8 hour straight overnight. I forgot it was on (before I had a turbo timer). Smelled horrible when I went out to turn it off. Like raw fuel. Car was ok though
My tt is in the ashtray bin with my evc which is always on. I have noticed, this summer, if my tt is on during driving and I shut it off with the tt set, it will continuously idle and not shut off. However, if I leave the tt off during driving then power it on when I stop and set to desired time, it will work correctly. Some kind of heat issue I suspect.
oil press is quite low @ idle in most jap cars....especially older ones. this can be a bad thing....
