AEM EMS and turbo timer

Hey, since we installed the AEM EMS, the turbo timer is acting kind of funny. Every time after I start the car, the turbo timer resets and starts the the countdown.
BTW, it is a Greddy Turbo Timer ...
Another thing is that after a couple of minutes of the engine been on, I hear a click and then the turbo timer resets again..

Have someone else experience this behavior...?
Does it has to do with the wiring..? or the signals from the EMS..?

Any comments will be appreciated..

Thanks,

I would personal ditch the Turbo timer.. They are a waste of gas and do nothing for the car. You can also set up the AEM to act as a turbo timer

I was told the wrong thing a few years back Like 3 years ago... Never tried it until now. Its under: setup/advance set up/ main relay control/ option - main relay/ Then main relay stop eng.

Sorry.. It doesn't work.

I think that the Turbo Timer work with the key. I don't think the EMS has anything to do with it. Try plug up the stock ecu and seeing if it does the same thing.

Sounds like its not wired right or something in your ignition system is messed up.

But its definitely not an AEM caused issue.

Try and extent the time the main relay stays on. See if that helps.
