Yes, I have had the car for about a month now and before I used to turn the car off and it would just shut off, and just last week, I had to disconnect negative battery terminal for maintenance and when I reconnected and started her up and test drove, and then parked and went to shut it off, and it stayed running with the key out and doors locked, it then shut off after exactly 30 seconds of after-run. I have searched and searched but have not found anything that tells me Evo's come stock with a turbo timer. Can anyone help shed light on this?

 

no stock turbo timer.

 

Does the car have an aftermarket alarm on it? Im pretty sure some of the alarms came with turbo timers

 

Thats turbo timer NO its not stock you have one somewhere you just have to look in the cabin for it.

 

Sounds like a turbo timer, does it only do it if the e-brake is up? I would start looking around the ignition area for a harness.

Thanks!

If it does have an aftermarket one, Its hidden pretty darn good, but that doesnt explain why it never did it before I had to take off battery cable. and I have never parked without e-brake, I'll have to try that, Thanks

 

Could be that it was set to not turn on before, and pulling the battery reset it to defaults?

Nothing on the stock car should keep it running, especially not for exactly 30 seconds every time.

Try it without the ebrake on, if that doesn't work... that's a better indication that it most likely is a turbo timer.

 

If you cannot find the harness or the car does not have an aftermarket alarm. I'd look here for your answer. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/in...lins-rain.html

 

a lot of aftermarket alarms offer a turbo timer function

the glovebox is a common place to find a turbo timer

 

Definitely isnt one in the glovebox lol...The car's mods that i was informed of when bought, was 3in TBE, open wastegate dump pipe, Forge MBC, and evo 9 mr BOV, AEM a/f gauge and prosport boost gauge other than that, car has 42,000 miles on it and everything else is mint stock. Im gonna search through the gremlin forum and see if i cant find anything, thanks again

 

even with my turbo timer RARELY it will shut off and not time down i think its done it 3 times since i have owned my evo but i know my has a timer is in plain view

 

Your problem with your evo not turning off is that you have corroded wire connections where your wires come in through the firewall this happened to me. Your connections get water in them because of a bad seal if you don't fix them your horn will start honking itself and a lot of other things dash lights don't turn on or off your wipers will turn them selfs on and wont turn off and you get a lot of electrical problem hear is a link to the solution.
