Did you run E85 before going ESC? I had this problem on E85 with the stock battery, which had nothing to do with it. (Switched back to pump gas and it starts right up.) Neither did the temperature, since it was summer in California.

I'm pretty sure the cranking enrichment is too low in some of the OFT E85 tunes. I should probably email Shiv about it.
