what are your long term and short term fuel trims at both idle and 2000 RPM for both banks? I suspect that bank 2 is getting close to setting a P0174. I would also look at the missfire data stream
I'm going to show my ignorance here...what is E85? I haven't had the fuel trims checked. I don't have a way of doing that myself. I'm just a simple guy that can do mechanicing with normal tools. That's why I'm prodding you all for information.

Thank you for your help.
