Greddy Turbo Timer gone bad?

I have one of the newer model Greddy Full Auto Timers and just recently it stopped leaving the car running when I switched the ignition off. Occasionally when i turn the ignition off the rpms will drop like its going to turn off and then the timer will kick in and leave the car running so the rpms bounce way back up. That hasn't happened in a while though.
There is something in the manual about switching lines to accessories instead of ignition if the car immediately turns off, and i tried it but that still doesn't work. Is there a warranty on these things? Everything else on the timer works fine. I'm at a loss of options.

Option 1: Get rid of it. You don't need it. It is a waste of time space and money. It is a gimmick toy for kids that don't know any better.

Option 2: See option one for best results

Why you have 3 or 4 of them if they wasn't a problem.... hmmm. OK just kidding. I have a Apexi TT but I don't really use it anymore. I just drive the car off of boost for a few minutes before I get to my destination. I may use the TT to run an electric water pump and fans at some point in the future.

So do you guys think I can send it back for a refund or echange? I don't even remember where I got it from. Probably rx7store.net

First make sure it's the TT and not a loose connection or something then call GReddy and ask about the warranty on the item. If they repair or replace it and you no longer want it, you can sell it on ebay or in the for sale section.

Yea, its definately not a loose connection. Went under the dash yesterday and re-did every connection. Still doesn't work. I guess I'll call Greddy

Have fun. Greddy's customer service is downright awful.
