Sniper EFI software issue

[threewood]

So I want to take a look at my most recent configuration file for my car. Loaded it onto the SD card, put it in my computer. Computer recognizes the drive as Holley. I can't open any configuration file! My Holley desk top download can't find it. And if I try and open it, it won't find the Holley software and asks what app I want to use.

Any tips? Holley software is a step up from ms dos.

Sounds like your computer is not updated or the card is corrupt.

For some reason carbs don't tend to have that problem.

Runs great, can't look at the software. Same as a carb I guess.

I meant being able to access the configuration file.

Carburetors be like:

I found it. The user interface for their software is crap.

The reason I was checking the tune was because occassionally the car would hang at a higher rpm but would go back to normal idle with a blip of the throttle.

I checked the throttle cable, no binding or hanging up. I pulled the distributor and rebuilt, re greased the mechanical advance. No issue.

I was able to hang it a few times in the shop and the culprit ended up being the secondary arm sticking a bit open. I hosed down the link and the blades with Seafoam and it seems all is right again.

About 90% of software problems are actually hardware.

Yep. When it would hang, the tps was at 0% and the ias was at 0%. That secondary throttle link is slotted so it being open didn't hold open the primary throttle.
