Do like a mid-drive refuel. Requires support vehicle.

My old road bike had no gauge and was carby / fuel line with reserve switch, it would conk out of fuel while riding, reach down and switch to reserve - restart it off I go while still moving.

Speaking to 2 tuners and 1 tuner in training, and they reckon cold start on E85 is pretty much non-existent on new tunes. Like people have figured out how to get around it...

Of course it's non existent. I think it's for 98 (as I'm having it flex fuelled btw). 

Apparently a tuner who tuned Adaptronic Modular ECU's got it done, could be warmed with electric blanket before starting up :P

years back mate bought a LX torana with a a9x drop tank, plus lowered springs.

every bump or corner it would scrape.

 

thankfully he sold it before it finally wore through and caught fire

 

Livin' dangerously, noice.

You can cold start on E85 fine. You just have to define, fine. It was never really actually a problem to get going.

At its absolute worst, expect a stall when you first fire it up (near instantly), and then you're good to go for the rest of the day. It needs *some* heat to create vapor. 98 is absolutely always happier to start and run when your car has been running for 30 seconds, but any enthusiast doesn't really give a shit if they have to crank it 5 times instead of 3, or lets it stall once in the morning if it was 5C overnight.

I've got no issue with cold start on e85. On really really cold mornings if i try and drive off immediately which i regularly do (trying to leave home with minimal noise @6am) it may stall but instantly fires up again and off you go. If i sit there for a few seconds b4 releasing the clutch there is never an issue. The secret is all in the short and long post crank settings. E85 requires a lot more fuel at start up than 98. Edit, looks like Greg beat me to it.

It needs more fuel to crank over and 'start' but near immediately (at least on my car) it stalls if you give it any throttle. Looking at the AFR's in this state when you can, it isn't lean, nor too rich and stalling, but adding air makes the whole thing lean out and stall for that first ... ~5 seconds of running the motor.

Exact same scenario 20 seconds later results in everything being fine, and it'll happen overnight on first start, but it's never a problem say, leaving car outside in winter between 7am and 5pm etc. Only overnight :p.

Yes you can see why an OEM wouldn't want this and understand why Caltex would put 70% Ethanol in Eflex in winter, as this problem absolutely doesn't happen with 98.

I was told to start it by turn the key towards start for a second then back to "ON" and then turn the key as you were.

Gonna try it when I get the thing back.

Started off as a simple e85 tune.

Ended up with ECU change with flex fuel sensor, MAC valve, new fuel pump and regulator as both were dying. 

I think that's it?

Sounds good.

Before MAC valve was it racepace "natural boost control"?

What ECU before/after?

Yah and before ECU was good 'ol PFC, switched to Wolf V500 with 550 firmware only cos I picked it up for peanuts when I can run flex fuel, delete AFM and control boost.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
