Not saying this is at all related to to fuel filter/pump issue.. just thought I'd post in case anyone else had similar startup issues with E85. Temps rarely drop below 65-70 degrees in the mornings/evenings now, since May.

I was noticing the same thing on E85 these past few weeks. Temps here have been in the 60s during the morning, and 80's during the day. But my starts have been very weak, sometimes it would start on the first try, barely idle, then die. Other times it took 2 cranks. Switched back to pump gas tune and I think the car runs better. Sounds quieter, and starts amazingly. IDK, its kind of strange. Haven't pushed it much past 4k yet, but can't really tell that much of a power difference to be completely honest...
