2011 Yukon Denali L94 6.2 Flex Fuel 160k miles...
I had some stumbling on a dead cold start up after filling the tank a while back. Cleaned the throttle body and it ran better for a bit, I think it just brought up the idle till it recalibrated. Then I ran a tank of ethanol free premium and my startup stumbling got worse. Sometimes the engine would even fire over but then die.
I chased down a bunch of potential issues and ruled them out after getting a tech2 emulator. On a hunch, and against all internet advice, I topped off a half tank with E85. The onboard ethanol calculated to 24%.
Now my cold start up issues are gone. After all the research, I'm going to try to get my AFM turned off before I run into valve issue...
Has anyone else run into this kind of thing? Where E85 runs better than ethanol free (aka 100% gas)?
