Today after some snow and it being 32 degrees outside, my Subaru BRZ is refusing to start. It's an automatic. It has the moto-east flex fuel kit installed and tune. I tried starting the ignition over 10 times, but it's just not starting.

Is this typical for cars with e85 and this flex fuel kit?

I e-mailed Moto East and I'm waiting for a response.

Will they send me an updated tune, or what do I have to do to get my car to start? Should I put some regular gasoline in it or something?

The ethanol content is above 80. Any ideas?

Here is a video of it,
