Cold starting issues

[Dhos1]

Does anyone have cold starting issues with their E-85 car? It takes a few times to crank over and a few minutes to simmer down before I get this sucker to idle in properly. Once she is there....she is there. Getting her to that point is what I would like to know. Also, what type of fuel additive is good to run with the E-85 to prevent breakdown or "Goo" as others call it?

Thanks.

I use Lucas e85 stabilizer. Are you running a stock or aftermarket ecm?

XFI has "start up fuel" that you use as a croke and I bet Holley does also that may need adjusting.

If you had XFI, I can tell you how but I am not to sure about Holley.

Yup...it’s in the tune. I was looking at the instructions and it’s called fuel prime

normal with E85 when its cold out. Every E85 car I have ever been around does this

Car drives spotless by the way.....I just feel like it takes a while to start up and idles like ass for a few minutes....then it’s on point
