Ethanol specifically is not the cause of this issue, it's something else, most likely pump design. Essentially it sounds like a diesel truck - I hate that, it's not acceptable. It's a good thing that I have the Perrin un-resonated exhaust otherwise I'd really be pissed ! As it is, I can live with it, the car certainly runs well, like the clappers even  |
If you listen to the many video clips of the crickets you will realise it's not the clatter that comes from the HPFP which they all have.
The clatter is normal for direct injection, the crickets are not.
No ethanol, no crickets. You don't have crickets.
