ok so the last week or so ive been having some sputtering issues at low rpm, crusing. thinking it was the fuel pump, got a new pump and regapped the spark plugs to .022 thinking that that will make this issue go away and nope nothing. i did notice that brown crud build up on the sock of the fuel pump. ill check the injectors tomorrow to see what they look like.

yea i keep seeing the different threads on e85 issues..... ill do a boostleak test to see if i have leak somewhere but im thinking is not that, dont want to rule that out though. even going uphill while crusing makes it worst, afrs look pretty good at WOT

Hmm.. was it just when it was super cold? do you have a COP system? I was having ignition problems before I had my sparktech (regardless of gap) and when we went to Mt Charleston a while ago I had to keep it in 4th, as cruising was cutting out.

I was having a similar problem and I took off the UICP and found that my throttle body and the butterfly valve were caked with nasty sticky black crap.... got a big can of Gumout carb cleaner and a rag and cleaned it all out.... I also took off the IAC valve off of the throttle body and cleaned it ... plus the hole it goes into.... It's good to take the IAC off cuz all the spray and run off drains down into there anyways.
Hope this helps...
