RE: Kia - Odd Injector Issue with E85 kit.
I use acetone to clean out my car, need to add some today actually. Got a gummed up injector because nobody ever used fuel injection cleaner before I bought it, ever! It only take a few ounces to really blow out all the junk from you car and is pretty cheap. One quart will clean out the car several times, and cost less than traditional fuel injection cleaner from the store. The gains you got were from blowing out the carbon from the engine, and nothing more. The shaking tells me the computer put one sensor on ignore and tried to run the car off a base line map and guess what it needs to do, never a good thing.
If I were going to do a e85 conversion, something I might do with my next car. I would get something with a real distributor, no coil pack junk. Run the distributor off a stand alone ignition module and ditch the computer. Replace the throttle body with a mikuni bike carb set for alcohol. The bigger ones flow about 260 cfm, plenty for up to about a 2.2 liter engine if you keep the revs down. Cost wise it's only slightly more than a kit, but reliability and tuning is through the roof. Plus mikuni carbs are constant velocity, which actually improves engine response at part throttle.
