Re: Ethanol Free Gas, High Idle w/Surging

Need more information on your truck. Is it carburated or fuel injected? I have read that ethanol can really mess up carburated engines. It leaves a lot of varnishes on carburetor surfaces and can really gum them up. I don't know how that would specifically contribute to your symptoms. I would think going to ethanol free would only solve problems not create them.  :headscratch:
