Ok in December 2020 my E85 tuned 2018 GT with 37k miles at the time started misfiring and throwing misfire codes until it eventually got worst and started leaking raw fuel out of the exhaust pipes.
Took it to local Ford dealer and they didn’t want to touch it since it was tuned so to a local speed shop it went for repairs. The culprit, #2 direct injector replaced for being stuck open.
this week @40k miles I started getting misfire codes again, rough idle and power loss. Looks like cylinder 8 and 6 now are failing this time around.
anyone else had or having same issues? I have a feeling the direct injectors aren’t ethanol compliant.
this time around since labor is so expensive I’m thinking of getting all 8 DI’s changed instead of just 1 or 2 bad ones. Probably my bad for not religiously rotating gasoline every 3 E85 fill ups :(
What are you guys thoughts? Just go back to straight gasoline?
Thanks
