greddy turbo timer problem

Alright I've tried searching evom.net, google, reading the manual, etc, and I cannot figure out a fix.

I have the GReddy full auto turbo timer installed on my car. It was already installed when I bought the car used. I've never had a problem with it until recently.

I havn't jump started the car, launched, or hard decel, etc. I did travel two 80-mile round trips, one yesterday and one today, taking the expressway. Average speed was about 80mph, but I did get up to 110mph 2 or 3 times, and when I got to my destination, the timer was at 8 minutes. Ok, no problem. That was yesterday, but today when I got to my destination, driving in the same manner, I noticed the timer was still at 30 seconds, and I know I didn't drive long enough or slow enough from the expressway to the parking lot that it had already counted down to the preset 30 seconds. When I shut the car off, the engine still ran for the 30 seconds and shut off.

So I kept an eye on it on the way home, never moved. Always stayed at 30 seconds.

I havn't touched any of the settings, and havn't messed around in the engine or with any wiring or anything. Any idea what could be wrong?

Ive noticed that sometimes with mine it will count up like that at random times just cuz the heater is on and when i turn it down it stops counting or i have had it count up for no reason just cuz the headlight are on as well. it dosent alway do it but every so often so was there anything like that going on?

where are your engine revs at while driving?

The "L" setting works for any revs over 3000 RPM and "H" works above 2000RPM. At that point it will add time. Once you go below it will reduce that time back till its preset.

Check it while driving and watch your revs especially when you're close to your destination... if's you're driving slow for a little or coming to frequent stops before your destination it would drop faster.
