    Holley Sniper reliability issues

    Still around, life delayed things for me. Looking for a tuner to take a look at mine as well. @kody472 - glad to hear positive results on your end!

    Holley Sniper reliability issues

    I am running a GM HEI distributor - Tach signal is from the distributor. Timing is set to stock. As for vacuum tubing, it's pretty basic. Having looked at compression since the rebuild. I have been driving it some, and it's not throwing fits, but it will, as I can tell, it's running rich. I...

    Holley Sniper reliability issues

    I took it out twice this evening and could not reproduce the issue. I reran the wizard between runs, and it ran a little more smoothly the second time. Since I reran the wizard, I'm sure it has some learning to do, but not sure when or if the issue will reappear.

    to take the o2 sensor out of the equation for a moment. It has since been re-enabled.

    yes and yes. Always let the engine get to operating temps and the valves have been checked several times.

    I am not sure what the fuel pressure is under load. When it works, I can go WOT; it pulls hard, with no bogging or hesitation. The engine was recently rebuilt due to low compression on 2 cylinders.

    Holley Sniper reliability issues

    Ive reset/re-ran the setup Wizard a few times while attempting to resolve the issue. Once under load, it's like its stuggling to match the target AFR, resulting in the engine sputtering and RPM drops. Is the MAP sensor a serviceable part for these models?

    I have aftermarket headers and a Y-pipe collector; the O2 sensor is on the collector as it becomes a single pipe. Under load, the AFR jumps around, 9-20. I disabled closed loop and the engine can barely run.

    Holley Sniper reliability issues

    So in the fall of 2025, I added the sniper to my build, and it's been a constant battle with reliability and driveability. I don't really trust it for any drive longer than 30 min. Often, I can't make it back from the gas station across the road without nursing it back to the garage. Most of...

    1985 FJ60 Build "Clarice"

    The seats are amazing. I have a bad back, and these seats are the most comfortable places to sit. The only reason I purchased them was that I kept reading reviews online about how good these seats are for your back. Worth every penny. I did replace the Vintiques with the FJ.co wheels. Just...

    Ended up with some seats from Scheel-man. So much help and inspiration from this site and the supporting vendors.

    1985 FJ60 Build "Clarice"

    Been a few years. Still chasing a faint tick from the engine after the rebuild. Stethoscope says its from cylinder 5 or 6. I believe I've got the sniper dialed in, pulls and cruises great.

    FJ60 Electrical Issue

    Well, the radio issue was a bad ground, so that is fixed. Somehow the AC compressor is now getting the correct voltage but does not engage. I'm not sure if it is the idle up from the sniper that isn't wired correctly or an issue with the AC amplifier board, testing continues.

    FJ60 Electrical Issue

    Recently my radio and AC have stopped working. During troubleshooting, I found that both the radio (switched and constant) and AC compressor are only getting 6v instead of 12v. Both were working before this issue surfaced. I have tested both with an external power source and they are working...
