i followed a how to on how to hook up an interceptor and heres what i got. i spliced into the power of the stock boost gauge red to red and as soon as i plug in the interceptor into the obd2 my car goes into on mode lights on dash are lit, and my a/f gauge turns on, and the clincher is when i shut the car off with the gauge still plugged into the obd2 car stays on and running, until unplugged. im confused please help

bump

 

anyone?

 

If the only connections you've made are to the power wire on the boost gauge, and the obd2 connector, I'd say you have a bad interceptor. But I havent dealt much with those things so I could be wrong.

 

those are the only connections

 

Rob, I have mine plugged into the OBD2 and drawing power from that. It'll stay on for like 30 seconds or a minute after I turn off the car, get out, and lock it. Then it'll go off. Have you tried just letting it chill for a minute or two?

Sorry I didn't text ya back the other night man, busy as hell.

 

^ yeah do that and see. that should be it

 

il disconnect the red wire and see what happens, i just dont understand why i can turn the key to off and take the key out and still drive the car.

 

Isn't the power wire on the boost gauge pink?

 

^ yes sir

 

yeah pink

 

lol yeh u kept saying red lol

 

my bad

 

all good but hope u get it worked out soon

 

me to i keep forgetting to unplug it and the car keeps running after the key is out

its ok just dont f-in do it again. jk not really

 

If you've directly powered it then I believe you have to remove the red jumper on the back of it to let the intercepter know that the power comes from directly from wiring and not powering from the OBDII. Did you do that?

 

im gonna do that tomorrow

 

Yeah i forgot to ask you if you did that,thats your problem.

 

sounds good i will fix tomorrow thanks guys!

 

its the analog wires i took them off and just used the obd2 plug and its fine now thanks for all the help and info guys

 

That's good to hear. I'm glad it worked out for you.
