Re: New to E85. Getting a baseline...

At normal operating temps, my car usually sways back and forth between 14.0 and 15.0 at idle and cruise, and stays right around 11.5 to 11.0 at WOT. When I start it up cold idle and cruise is usually between 12.0 and 12.5 until it warms up and switches to closed loop. Sounds like you're way too rich at idle and cruising, and a little lean at WOT. The rich idle could be part of the problem with the car starting hard.
