This question is for everyone on ethanol tune. It's now 20f-30f days in Iowa, colder at night so I've went down from 35% ethanol to 25%. I'm planning on about 10% next week and through the winter. The fuel is probably 20*f and my IAT is like 45f.
Anyway Ive been getting tons of misfires if WOT between 5k to redline this weekend. I was in Mexico for the week and came back to the freeze, drove the car easy for 45 mins then when I started wot twards redline TONS of misfires. Ethanol in the freeze I hope? Shouldn't be that bad though. I'll put new plugs in at noon tomorrow?
Last time I got misfires at redline was also last winter, when my head gasket leaked between cylinders. It's stupid thin with a coolant channel between each cylinder on the gasket. Sucks.
