PLEASE….POST ANY THOUGHTS YOU MAY HAVE.
Now that my Holley sniper fuel injection is installed on my FJ40 I have discovered why I enjoy it a lot. And that is ….the ease of starting is remarkable compared to my stock experiences over the last 50 years. I will admit fuel injection technology is something I am completely blind to. I have mentioned this before but as an avid vintage motorcycle rider since I was 20, everything I ever rode was a kick starter and they really really well tuned kickstart motorcycle starts on the second kick a poorly tuned motorcycle while you’re on your own and the quality of your knees. When I had purchased a new 1995 fuel injected ultra classic it was a simple press of a button and the engine was running …that impressed me to no end. Remember in 1970 vintage motorcycle was 1920-1930 and some of those bikes were a monster to tune to try to ride and to keep started and running. In fact, that may be why my knee replacement was such a pain in the butt.
The Holley Sniper kit is a pretty straightforward install basically following any standard mechanical assembly procedures. On the other hand, it can be modified significantly using computer software and other updates which I am interested in, but I will not try them without some reasonably good guidance.
Obviously, there are quite a few Holley sniper users here on the forum that have substantially more experience And technical capabilities so my question to you guys as what mapping modifications or adjustments have you made in the ECU to improve the performance of the system.
I still chase that IAC number as mine routinely and eventually winds up at zero my question becomes is there some other part of the software responsible for that because mechanically I have not been able to find anything. So in this post, I guess I am looking for some ideas on updating firmware which they show and explain on some YouTube videos….that of course passes right over my head as my computer skills are MINIMALLY acceptable …
I would love that a few will chime in here on their experiences
