When the code was thrown, I had cruise control on and had just started going up a pretty decent incline, then suddenly felt a loss of power as CC was disabled. I have since done several WOT pulls and am not sure if the code was a fluke or what. I've read some posts that others have had this and needed to get their #1 coilpack replaced.

Otherwise, loving the E85! I crunched some numbers and found that I can stand to lose 4mpg without decreasing my $/mile due to E85 being so much cheaper. Win-win!
Misfire on Cylinder 1. What were your AFR's when you were on E85? I've seen that code before with a rich condition on E85. You should be able to lean out the tune to address it.

Unless you have a faulty coil pack or plug, of course. Oh, and if you have some popping noises, then you might want to have your DI seals checked.
