Turbo timer problem!

So i just got my car back on sunday and im breaking in the new motor that runs great. I come home to change after a ball game and park in the driveway take a quick shower and was going to go to the casino with some friends and my car wouldnt start WTF. i remembered when i shut it off my lights stayed on but the engine was off and the HKS turbo timer was blinking and gave the countdown to shut off so i didnt think anything at the time and just hit the top left button and all the lights went off. now the car wont start and the FPR isnt moving so is the car fooled into thinking that its off or what? I looked up the user manual for the turbo timer and found out that the bottom two buttons if you held them down for 2 second it would reset i tried that 3 times and even got angry and just tried the **** this thing and pushed all the buttons and still no luck. i took the AC duct cover off the dash below the wheel and took a look and tried to unplug the thing all together and their is a ground a white plug and 3 soft plastic wire (deals) or whatever you call em' conected to the turbo timer i cant find the other white plug and there are 3 other soft plastic wire hook ups loose but the color doesnt match with the other ones.

PLEASE HELP!

You dont need a turbo timer, just let the car cool down for about a min after a driver and your good

Yep. Just drive it easy for the last minute or two of your drive.

Get rid of the turbo "tumor" . As you can see they, are just one more thing that can go wrong. Once you get rid of your turbo timer, you will be allowed to move up one step on the evolutionary scale. With a turbo timer in your car, you are pretty much considered a rotary neanderthal
