^ill chime in too...I run e85 as well...and yes when it is a little colder it does take a little more time to start...only Like one extra crank...its only after the car has sat overnight or for long periods of time...but once the car is warmed up and has been ran it takes only one time..and no issues at all.

Yes as in misfire. Originally that is what I thought the problem was. But after doing research, I found that swapping BOV's can cause over boost. I checked the plugs and they were fine. I was fine running the tial, plus I was tuned with it. So that was a big stupid mistake on my part for swapping it out. I had no clue that it could and did cause issues. Then it popped a P0234 code, which is Engine Overboost. Now I swapped the stock IX DV valve back, and am recirculating like I should and the driveability is perfect. Only at WOT it turns into a punk lol. So I am def going to retune. I might end up doing E85 on the FIC 950's I have, but I will max those out quick. But at least my car will be driveable and will make a little more power then what I am making now. Pm me on how mail in tunes work. Never done it.
