Left cold star at 0.7.I've been playing with the same trana, I'm down to 0.3 cranking also, the car started close to perfect this morning at 16'IAT 18'ECT 9'ambient.. Obviously we cannot change the characteristics of the fuel ratter but I have definitely made an improvement on how it starts/runs 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/216/#findComment-1471386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two came from my LM-2, the car day overnight for 9hrs before I started it this morning Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/216/#findComment-1471432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 5d Gender: Male Posted 14/05/14 05:30 AM Share Posted 14/05/14 05:30 AM My started after about 3 seconds this morning. Much improved but you can tell alot of fuel was dumped in during cranking as it is a teeny bit rough just after start up but I can live with this.I also noticed that E85 seems to run quite well running lean at operating temp. It seemed to run at 20:1 air fuel ratio (I use petrol ratio) without lean misfire whereas petrol would misfire at 18:1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/216/#findComment-1471481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
