I like the ability to set the cooldown time in an exact number of minutes, rather than a guess on a dial.īoth vendors that I worked with on this project were as helpful as could be. If they make one that plugs right in, like the one in my truck, I'll switch.
#DIESEL ENGINE SHUTDOWN TIMER HOW TO#
They sent me the 9 pages of instructions on how to retrofit it one wire at a time, but I went weak in the knees and hollered uncle. I wanted to put the turbo life saver in the van, same as in the truck, but the van has a different ignition plug, so it wouldn't fit. ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif And you'll need to hold your mouth just right to get it to work. It has been a while since I've had to wrestle with this (don't use the A/C much in winter /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif), but I believe that the winning moves are to put the key back in, turn it to on, put the transmission in reverse, turn the key to off, and cycle the brake pedal. Oh, yeah, it is super-duper-extraordinarily tricky to shut the engine off once the van gets into this twilight-zone mode of operation. If I pull the key from my van with the front and rear A/C blowers both on medium or high setting, the van will idle until it is out of fuel. These critters do not play nice with remote start systems! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif I have also heard that security systems are in the same boat.


Turn the knob all the way to the right for about 15 minutes of idle time after the key has been turned to off. Turn the knob all the way to the left for immediate shutdown. Your interface with the device is a small knob.
