Perhaps its something I will have to learn to live with (like I have been) and accept as the way the car is. |

Good advice. I try to remember to check it pretty regularly.
I fill until the oil meets the dot on in the middle of the sight guage. It seems to be about right on the stick (In general though, I do find it very hard to see the oil on the stick) |

The problem for me, is that I've run E85 for the last 10 tanks. I had to switch back to 93 for some long highway driving about 3 tanks ago, and man, it felt really rough in comparison to the smoothness of the E85 (which feels smoother than stock, in a serious way). I thought to myself 'Hmm... if I ever run into a spot where I can no longer run E85, i'll have to sell this kit and go a different direction' -- That's how disappointing it felt after having run E85 for so long. So overall, you can definitely get used to it, and most of it is probably normal (tune might be able to improve some of it)... just realize that if you run E85 you may not be able to go back |

When your car is cold, if you were to accelerate from 4k rpm and up, how does it feel? Mine feels much better up there. It obviously feels like the car is still warming up but is smooth as silk where as 2k-3.25k feels like dogbox. *Before anyone asks, I do not try to beat on it like that very regularly on warmup-more to assess my problem and the occasional fast merge. |

Mine works great no matter the RPMs on Costco 92 octane, but I was also tuned on the same gas. There was one time I filled up and it ran crappy and studdered but it may have been because it was a bad batch of gas. Never had an issue aside from that one tank of gas.

From what I understand, the motor runs fuel injection differently until warmed up. Not too sure how the car drives though; haven't ever pushed it with cold oil.

I have 700cc injector kit and flex fuel tune from delicious tuning. Last week I filled up my tank with 91 and my car started to stall when shifting into neutral as I came to stop at the stop light every now and then. After it began stalling, the car also started hard starting; the car would crank for 3-5 seconds before starting. I filled up about 3/4 tank of E85 and the car stopped stalling but, still hard starts. Vacuum and boost seem to be fine and car drives like normal. Also, I live in AZ so its really damn hot out.
Anyone have any tips? |
