No chance of an E85 ticket in Chicago, IMO. Maybe someone from Chicago will chime in to correct or substantiate.
Now, in CA, they actually have a law against E85 conversion. I don't think that IL does, however.

I think it's illegal in every state to convert actually...or from what I remember reading years ago.
But, I doubt many cops (no offense) will know what cars can fill up with E85 or not. I haven't had any issues in Chicago.

I was doing some "research" prior to my own upgrade to E85... It does violate EPA rules to convert your car to E85 unless using an EPA approved E85 conversion kit. And I don't think there are any EPA approved E85 conversion kits for EVO's. This would be a federal law.
On the state level, I only found a reference to a state law against conversion to E85 in CA.
All that said, I presume that enforcement is an extremely low priority for both the EPA and CA. E85 conversion simply isn't something that any politically active group is adamantly opposed to. Lucky us!
I say E85 FTW!

Anyone have the correct xml for the Injector Cranking Enrichment IPW for 94170015?
I have:
This shows up blank on my ROM.
I also have:
I'm not sure what those Post Primer Enrich Decay tables do.
I'm just trying to get my hands on the correct table for 94170015, and some good settings to start with for cold starting on E85.
I have:
Code:
<table name="Injector Cranking Enrichment IPW Adder (Main)" category="Main Map Fuel Settings" address="56ac" type="2D" level="2" scaling="TimeInjCranking"> <table name="Coolant Temperature" address="67bc" type="Y Axis" elements="9" scaling="Temp" /> </table>
I also have:
Code:
<table name="Post Primer Enrich Decay #1" category="Fuel" address="3712" type="2D" level="2" scaling="EnrichmentAdj"> <table name="Engine Temp" address="67bc" type="X Axis" elements="9" scaling="Temp"/> </table> <table name="Post Primer Enrich Decay #2" category="Fuel" address="3722" type="2D" level="2" scaling="EnrichmentAdj"> <table name="Engine Temp" address="67bc" type="X Axis" elements="9" scaling="Temp"/> </table> <table name="Post Primer Enrich #1" category="Fuel" address="3732" type="2D" level="2" scaling="uint8"> <table name="Engine Temp" address="67bc" type="X Axis" elements="9" scaling="Temp"/> </table> <table name="Post Primer Enrich #2" category="Fuel" address="3742" type="2D" level="2" scaling="uint8"> <table name="Engine Temp" address="67bc" type="X Axis" elements="9" scaling="Temp"/> </table> <table name="Primer Cranking Enrich - First Pulse" category="Fuel" address="3810" type="2D" level="2" scaling="uint8"> <table name="Engine Temp" address="67d8" type="X Axis" elements="11" scaling="Temp"/> </table>

Does anyone have the proper Cranking IPW / Cranking Primer / Cranking Enrichment XML for 94170015, and some values I can start with?
My attached values do not seem to do much for me. My car cranks away for a long time before I can get it started.

My VIII has been firing off on the initial spin of the starter with temps as low as 40F. I suggest you simply try increasing the IPW adder settings a bit more.
In fact I've increased mine a bit since I posted in the 96530706 thread.
Here is what I'm using right now:
-26=361
0=240
18=150
45=80
68=45
93=14
122=8
171=7
180=7
