The reason why I ask is because Saab did some pioneering work on turbo [PFI] E85 applications back in the late 2000s. One of the things they found was that running E85 leaves deposits on the injectors, but occasionally switching to gasoline cleans them up very quickly.

I heard sonething similar so I will run a tank of 93 roughly every 5 tanks of 85.
I will be going to FI in the spring and with it I will upgrade my injectors. I'll post photos of my old injectors and plugs when I do. |
I initially ran E85 only 60-70% of the time (fillups) my first few months on the E85 tune... after that, I've been on it 90%+ of the time.
Since mid-May, I've had 58 top-offs & 3 partial fillups.. I've only put in 93 octane 4 times during that span (2 times were partial 93 fillups): 2 times in June, once in mid October, and once again 3 weeks ago.
I'd be interested to see how your injectors look Hawaiian.
The hard startups during cold mornings aren't enough to get me off the corn juice... yet. I'll wait to see how difficult the startups get when temps drop to below 40F first.
