Nothing too exciting here, just thought I'd share. I've been working on the E85 tune in my Colt. Car sat outside and started in 20*F temps last night so I'm pretty happy about that. It takes 2-3 times cranking so I still have some work to do but I'm still happy.

Where are you getting your e85 from? Are you using a flex fuel sensor? Am thinking about making the switch or at least do the flex fuel setup for ECMlink.

I get it on base at JBLM. Hardy any other places around here and that sucks. No ethanol sensor yet so I just use the primary maps for E85 and secondary maps for gas. I'll probably get the sensor for full flex fuel setup next summer.

It's good you guys know how to tune, because winter E85 is likely more like E50/60.

Yeah,it will be nice to get that ethanol sensor and go full flex fuel with it. Much easier in the long run! Who knows, maybe I'll break down and just upgrade sooner than later. Haha
