I think you're backwards on the AF ratio, 13.5 is pretty rich. First number is air, less air=more gas=rich.

Re: '07 Cobalt Bad engine misfire
Ah, ok, I thought you meant 13.5 was a little lean for cruising conditions. I gotcha now. I was told that 14.7 is OK until you get into boost. I didn't have to tune anything on my supercharger, it was done with a PCM recalibration that came with the kit from GMPP. Tuners could talk circles around me all day. I'm working to change that tho

Re: '07 Cobalt Bad engine misfire
Jezzus-H... you guys got me all paranoid with the E10 now. I gotta think it's mostly a non-issue though. I know in the Buffalo NY area, almost all of our stations have sold nothing but "up to 10% ethanol" for about 20yrs now. It's nothing new for us, nor have I ever had a fuel related concern. Maybe I'm lucky!

Re: '07 Cobalt Bad engine misfire
Gotcha. That makes sense. I've never had a fuel injector issue that I know of, but I'm wondering if adding a fuel system cleaner like Chevron Techron concentrate a few times a year would be a good thing. I used to use that and 'experimented' with a product called "Fuel Power" and used Lucas fuel system treatment years ago. Kinda gave up on'em. Never really saw a benefit for my usage.
