Most e85 folks know this but just a friendly reminder to check your fuel filters regularly.
After battling cutting out issues with my car, I figured out it was going lean big time after putting her on the rollers and logging, it was going so lean the wideband A/F couldn't even read it! After checking simple things and everything looks fine (got spark got fuel etc) I looked at my FP gauge and it was going low to mid to low basically starving... Finally decided to change the fuel filter (should have been my first thing not last to do) and guess what? It was clogged to hell... I will be also taking off my injectors and cleaning them just to make sure no crap got in them. I will be also changing my paper filter to the stainless one so it lasts longer and doesn't clog as bad.
Put new filter in and it finally came back to life.
So anyway, thought I'd share my experience and my excitement of a finally good running car.
