434josh Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Bud what is the exact issue? Does it start and instantly die? Does it crank and crank but not fire? Each issue has a different fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

434josh Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Let it crank for a bit but not start. Key off and pull a plug. Is it wet or dry? Tune cranking fuel accordingly. Likely it will be dry and need an increase in cranking fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimoL Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Is it tuned for gasoline too? I know this might not be the solution you're looking for but have you tried to add some gasoline to the mix? I found that running E65 - E70 helped tremendously with the start up. It was around -5 deg Celsius when I tried this. Haven't had the change to test more since I blew the gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomattx Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 In my experience with E85, they are typically harder to start when its cold or the car has sat for a week or so, I havent came upon a good fix yet, although I have tried a few different attempts, that being said the stock ecu had the same issues with E85 so its not just standalone having the problem, its possibly the injectors not atomizing the ethanol as well as the gasoline and the higher flash point and water intrusion that happens with ethanol.
