Ostrich draining car battery

[turbo84voyager]

Well after spending 4 hours on my SRT van trying to track down my battery drain, it turns out to be the Ostrich. I had a 0.088 amp draw with everything off. My 84 turbo van has a 0.03 draw. If I disconnect the ostrich or ecu my drain drops to 0.022. It appears the ostrich is preventing the ecu from going to "sleep". This is on a SMEC. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a fix. Currently it will drain the battery in a little over a week.

I'm using the ostrich with a LM and I can part my car weeks at a time and it will starts just fine.

Maybe a new battery to fix the issue?

Oh, this is the battery I'm using.

Mabe the LM reacts differently to it than the SMEC. I read a post in the archives about someme having a similar problem with it and a SBEC. The battery in the van is good, I will load test it again when I get home but the amp draw would be enough to drain a battery enough to cause it to be hard to start in a little over a week. The recommended max value I always went by in the past was 0.03 amp draw max. I have almost 3 times that with the ostrich conencted. I am going to contact Moates and see if they ever heard of anyone having this issue. I have no problem burning a chip but it would be nice to keep the ostrich in place until I work out all of the minor tunning tweeks for this swap. The ostrich cant be pulling his amount of power but it must be somehow causing the ecu to stay on.
