Does E85 cause misfires?

Does e85 cause misfires? For example, not starting your car for 3-4 days with the same tank of e85 that has been in the car for 2 weeks, then driving it? Or is it the left over e85 in the exhaust tips that causes the misfire?

I don't think so and I don't think anyone can show you any evidence that it does. It may when its very very cold out just because it doesn't' vaporize like gas does.

You have a plug wire bad or something else its not E85.

I agree on the plug wire too. E85 hasn’t been an issue for me. I’m running it pretty much all the time unless I’m in an area that doesn’t have it and I need fuel.
