If I could only take the day off to do some driving and logging. Screw the office...

Cold start was great this morning! A single stall but I think I didn't crank the key long enough. Once it fired it idled high to warm up and settled down quickly. Sounded great. I did not get any loud popping from the intake from like I was getting from anothers tuner file. I'm very happy.

Not sure about my fuel gauge yet. Fuel light came on this morning but I don't think I ran through 7 gallons of fuel in 65 miles.....or did I. I was flogging it a bunch to feel this new power.

Thanks for the review JoeBoxer - this sounds pretty good. Could you describe how you have maps 1-3 set up? I understand 4 is for e85, but what RaceROM combinations do you have on the first 3? I may consider getting an e85 tune soon and would rather have ECUTek remember my map setting, as 2forme mentions above, but for now I think I'd be fine switching before startup.

JoeBoxer · 12-04-2012, 10:58 AM

I haven't gotten to play with maps 1-3 but with my car being an auto the racerom features are mainly display stuff, i like the afr readout and fuel gauge percentage. They should be on there i will verify when i go back to 93.

Got3n · 12-04-2012, 11:15 AM

did you need new injectors for the e85 or are you using the stock ones?

The problem is more along the lines of cold start in an actual cold environment. AZ isn't a cold environment :-p.

Below 50 degrees causes issues.

Do you have any videos?

I'm comparing my cold start issues with another tuners file I had. It would stall 5 times and backfire into the intake sounding very dangerous. It was in the same temp I am in now. Very happy so far.

You use the stock ones

Frostyman · 12-04-2012, 11:59 AM

My cold start issues while in the 40s have been thus: Crank, no start. Crank, half start. Crank, all good.

JoeBoxer · 12-04-2012, 12:01 PM

The temp has dropped quite a bit and it is raining heavily, 43 is the lowest in the forecast and thats tomorrow morning so we will see how it does then.

Got3n · 12-04-2012, 12:09 PM

how do you go about getting gas if you are running low on E85 and only have 93 around you, can you put in 93 octane is lets say the fuel light is on?

Damn! What other tuner has e85? My Visconti e85 tune doesn't do that... It just stalls out on the first start, then starts normally.
