Unhappy auto in apexi turbo timer?

i have a question about the auto function in the apexi turbotimer, right know its set to AUTO, but no matter how hard i drive the car... the time just wont change? i thought the AUTO function senses the a/f #'s then suggests the right time for it to idle? any other settings that i need to set for it to work right? thanks!

I used that for a few days, it goes up in time while your driving harder but once you slow down it just goes down with it so I just set it to a solid minute of idle.

adjustments can only be made when the handbrake is up. Next, push the "nipple" to the right when at timer mode. Once it shows something like "3n3" you can adjust the parameters as shown on manual (cannot remember offhand). Once set, push "nipple" to the left... do NOT push to the right. See if this works...

Doesnt work...yea the manual states this.

Maybe the other settings are not correct and that is why its not going in Auto mode.

3n3 doesnt work. Thats what I had on originally.

Anyone else have a clue?

Mine works fine, the auto function is nice but I leave it preset to 1 minute once I remove the key from the ignition. Is your guys turbo timer reading the A/F? If not make sure you guys got a good connection to the O2 sensor wire, I'm tapping mine directly from the ECU harness.

Mine works, but only after very heavy driving - I have seen it as high as two and a half minutes before - but that was right after a track run. We have a pretty decent cooling system w/radiators for both water/oil + IC, so driving mildly cools things down quickly, although I am waiting for this weekend when I install my oil temp gauge to see how quickly the turbo cools.

Yes, I am reading A/F just fine...but it never kicks into its "auto" mode.

i set mine to run 30 seconds. That's plenty unless Im rippin around and then turn off the car, then I'll go longer. But most of the time, I'm slow (parking lots or neighborhoods) before shutting down the car, so 30 seconds is enough.
