    The TSB fixes nothing for the extended crank alcohol density issue.

    Yep. Doesn’t do a thing. As I mentioned before, Toyota has admitted they don’t have a fix and don’t plan to get one. Their suggestion is to take the key out of ignition when fueling to prolong the time between the issue.
    This should be a class action lawsuit.

    I have reset mine twice now since first of the year. I checked yesterday and it’s creeping back up. It’s at 18% now.

    This amuses me. I literally always take the key out when refueling

    I haven’t been in the forum for a bit, but have you gotten any more info in this?

    the past 2 months since my extended crank issue running regular 87 ethanol gas, I’ve been running 93 non ethanol gas from wal mart and it’s been great. I went on a long road trip last week and put in regular ethanol gas and before I filled back up today with non ethanol the initial startups have been sluggish while cold.

    It hasn’t not started but I’m assuming it’s only a matter of time..

    I haven’t. That is interesting with the non ethanol. The problem is always finding it and the cost.
