Also, you should NEVER use a paper element filter. Always use a steel (or other metals) fuel filter.
The air fuel ratios you should be looking for are far different than pump gas. Or any type of "gas" really. So you need to learn what afr's your supposed to be looking for.
You need to re-tune the entire MAP. You cannot just put some E85 in the car and expect it to run with a "gas" map...
So basically, clean out your fuel system VERY thoroughly, or replace everything. Then re-tune the car. I doubt you have an actual problem...

So E85 cleans out your fuel system but after running e85 you need to thoroughly clean out the fuel system? So which is it?
In my experience, ethanol in any content absorbs moisture, clogs filters, kills pumps, and breaks up any crude, junk, whatever in the tank.......... and if it sits it likes to corrode becuase ot has a tendancy to absorb and suspend moisture.
