2012 KIA Optima shuts down after 5 minutes then restarts.

0 votes
I did an install on a 2012 Kia Optima (standard key) with a Avital and EVO-ALL.  It starts fine, but then it runs for 5-6 minutes then shuts off and restarts again.  It doesn't do it every time, but when it does, it will do it over and over unless you shut it off with either the remote or the brake.  When it shuts down, there are no parking light flashes, it just shuts off and a second later starts up again.  The customer did not even notice until he was outside one if the times it restarted.  I made sure that avital was set to standard tach and not virtual tach.  What could be causing this issue?  Is it possible the tach signal is being interrupted?  If it is most likely the tach, would switching to virtual tach fix the issue?  Customer lives an hour away, so I dont't want to have him keep driving back and forth over and over again trying to diagnose the issue.

Does the remote starter shut down before the evo?
