Dave1647545494 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I had some free time today so I decided to try and figure out why my 01 caravan 3.3ffv runs so poorly on E85... when I put the scanner on it the pcm is showing ethanol content at 0% ok no big deal find whatever reads the ethanol content and replace it, and thats the problem i can find ford and gm fuel sensors everywhere, but no mention even on mitchell of how the caravan determines the alcohol content of the fuel if you know or can point me in the right direction muchas gracias becuase I can't find shit for info I even tried to call the dealer and they just mostly seemed confused by my questions thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 May I ask why you even want to run E85? It costs slightly less than 87, but with the increased fuel consumption, it is more expensive to run than straight 87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
