Pat- Do yo have problems starting your car in the cold weather? I heard E-85 will do that.

 

^ill chime in too...I run e85 as well...and yes when it is a little colder it does take a little more time to start...only Like one extra crank...its only after the car has sat overnight or for long periods of time...but once the car is warmed up and has been ran it takes only one time..and no issues at all.

 

Yeah thats what I've heard, but have yall ever had the problem of it not starting at all in extreme cold wheather?

 

This will be my first winter on it...so I'm not sure about that one...u might be able to look around the alternative fuel section and see if anything comes up...

 

Yes as in misfire. Originally that is what I thought the problem was. But after doing research, I found that swapping BOV's can cause over boost. I checked the plugs and they were fine. I was fine running the tial, plus I was tuned with it. So that was a big stupid mistake on my part for swapping it out. I had no clue that it could and did cause issues. Then it popped a P0234 code, which is Engine Overboost. Now I swapped the stock IX DV valve back, and am recirculating like I should and the driveability is perfect. Only at WOT it turns into a punk lol. So I am def going to retune. I might end up doing E85 on the FIC 950's I have, but I will max those out quick. But at least my car will be driveable and will make a little more power then what I am making now. Pm me on how mail in tunes work. Never done it.

 

lol hell ya , sometimes it takes 2-3 times and other times like 6 lol. just give yourself an extra 5 mins for work and its all good, i knew that going into the tune though.

 

same here this will be my first winter so high 30's is the coldest its been so far.

 

Easy fix for the e85 during winter. Your tuner can just turn up the crank enrichment for the winter should start in first try if not second for sureeeee

 

^ time to bust out my laptop and tactrix cable and get to work!

 

sounds like a plan
