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.

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.

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?
