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

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
