e85 Cold Start issues.

So here we are in 2023 my 2016 refuses to turn over on e85 if it’s below 40f. From my understanding they fixed the crank tables on OFT so I’m wondering why this is? I don’t have a flex fuel kit; I can’t find the OFT one online anyways, and I don’t really want to invest anymore into this vehicle, besides regular maintenance so I may just go back to 93 tune if I can manage to run my engine dry over the weekend. If anyone has any advice I’d appreciate it. I’ve already reached out to OFT and waiting on a response.
Thanks,

Or....
Be smart and get a flex fuel system and do it right.
Then when it gets cold put some regular 93 in the tank.

The oft tunes on E85 don't start well in cold weather they need modifications to the cranking fueling tables then they start fine in cold weather

Cold, E85, and OFT not good combinations. Anyone can tune for WOT it take skill to tune to idle and drive good. Find a good tuner or move over to Flex and EcuTec.(and a good tuner)
