ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that's some nasty *** gas lol, had a problem like that before but i ran E85 in my car with no mods (i wanted to see if it would run it, leave me alone!! lol) I had to rebuilt the fuel distributor with E85 compatible seals cause it ate them away afterwards I ran E85 until the Cog stripped and destroyed the engine

i did change the fuel pump relay with a brand new one and the pump still runs constantly. also i did change the fuel filter with a new one. i also bled the lines at the distributor and the fuel looked clean. gonna mess with it this weekend. i looked in the tank when i siphoned it and it all looked ok. a little dirt on the bottom but nothing i haven't seen before. i should have pulled the pump then and checked the screen. oh well. i did buy gas from a station with new tanks and pumps. my friend runs it. he did tell me that all stations use cheap gas at some point. they are required only to purchase a certain amount a month from their supplier. after that "joe blow gasoline" is usually the truck that fills the rest for the month. so in otherwords, bad gas is everywhere. no brand is different.

end result...i hope. soaked ignition module. this explains the constant fuel pump run and the knock sensor codes. gonna try it tomorrow after i clean it again. damn fuel filter led me the wrong way..just full of dirt. that is only 15k worth of filtering. shows how bad gasoline has gotten in this country
