even the LSA/LS9 use 52lb injectors

The way my LSA goes through juice, I would have that thought they were 520lb......:eek:

Have to introduce E85 slowly if the car was previously run on 91/95/98

Yes I have the same sticker as that on my fuel flap. It was my understanding that 1000cc injectors are one of the requirements to run e85.
I’ll find a scan tool and check the code it might just take a while to get a cheap one from eBay unless someone in Gold Coast has one that I can use

I got a $20 scan tool off ebay and its great can see codes, clear them, see codes cleared in the past, etc
Can you post a clue as to the details of this item? Dunno if the forum is happy with a direct link. Thanks.

hi I bought this car new in 2013 and put a full tank of e85 in it for the first time last night, now after coming back from work today i noticed the engine light is on, is this common? Any ideas what it could be? No notifications on cluster besides the engine light and car drives fine at the mo
To expand on 'Happydaze' theory is it possible your o2 readings sent a ? as they now read unknown e85 emission for the first time.

I've been running my L77 for over a year now on the Caltex Flex Fuel with no problems at all. It varies between 70 t0 85% ethanol. I tried the United E85 but my car took a lot of cranking to start from cold. My tuner says this can be quite normal. Hope this is of some help.
