What was the state of your injector O rings after this?

How well does your petrol tank seal? When you go to a petrol station to fill up does it go PSSHHH?

How long have you been E85 and how often was it driven (eg, was fuel sitting in the tank for a month at a time between drives?)

Orings were fine.

Can't remember if i head the pshhhh or not... I'm not sure if i even hear it on the new Evo..

Been on e85 a year and half. Didn't drive it that often, only weekends. And even sometimes could go weeks without a drive

Switched to it about 3 times I reckon

I have taken the precaution of pickling the fuel system in 98 when I've gone long periods of not driving, but it is a daily driver so that's rare.

I think having old tanks of E85 is no good...if it hasn't been driven for ages I would empty it and refill.

Long enough for the e85 to turn?

Plenty of reports on the evo x forums of the issue coming up after a few weeks.

Mine was just a minor issue of it sliglty blocked one injector after a year. But even then I could have lost whole my engine if I kept on driving it without noticing something was happening. My first sign was one of my spark plugs melting and subsequent ones fouling pretty quick

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
