This video covers the most common mistakes made during a Sniper 2 installation and how to avoid them for a smooth, reliable setup. It highlights the importance of carefully following the installation manual, wiring power and ground directly to the battery, and ensuring proper fuel pump grounding. The video also explains correct O2 sensor placement, proper fuel pump mounting (at or below the bottom of the tank), using the supplied fuel filters, and flushing fuel lines to prevent injector issues. Additional key points include verifying timing with a timing light, checking for vacuum leaks, properly adjusting the Idle Air Control (IAC) once the engine is at operating temperature, and avoiding non-O2-safe sealants or additives that can damage the wideband sensor.
