I ordered my setup this week, hope to get a tune for it and try it out in the next month or so! I would probably have never considered running ethanol without this offering!

Hey guys, finally got round to installing this kit, however, I'm getting a reading of 1.25v or around 30% whilst running 98 Oct (UK) which should be around 5-10% ethanol.
Car is a RHD UK spec 135i with IJE0S, one thing I noticed is that there wasn't a pin in slot 16 on the small connector which I thought was a bit odd.

Any ideas on what's up?

Hi, can you please post a screenshot of your "read codes" screen? Also, most Euro cars do not have the pin there, that is normal.

Hey guys. I was running stage 2+ mhd fbo... I installed the short line from motive with ethanol sensor.. then wired up the dme with the flex fuel module. Keep in mind I have already purchased the mhd v8 ff app and mix map pack too my tablet. Once everything wired in the dme.. Plugged in the ethanol sensor. Flashed the tune which was successful. ( Only took 7 min) I did him up charger as well. Car won't turn over and I have like 8 codes. It's like I don't have gas. I have power to the car as internal lights come on.. please see image given with the code. I will note.. on the flash tuned it says the eca voltage is zero.. on my gauges my lpfp says 0%. I used the advised nut in engine bay for the ground wire.. Please help........ If someone is familiar with the flex fuel n54 Motive kit or had similar issues Can u email please. ( [email protected]) Really appreciate it guys.

Did you unplug negtive terminal while installing the ff wiring? Then plug in ff box.
Also, throttle/pedal input is not beingread and lpfp sensor off...i think wiring incorrect here. Doublecheck your wiring...best if you take photo of your connections for proof. And make sure terminals are seated. And heat shrink and soldering used where needed.

I disconnected the battery from the trunk when wiring everything up. Once everything connected, plugged battery back on in truck and flashed everything. The only wire that wasn't used was for the port injection wire which was heat wrapped because of not being used.. which negative terminal are you speaking of?

You followed the wiring for the aic controller and ff? It is different than normal wiring.

What's the aic wire. I used the motiv directions that's for the kit. I have to go through again and see what connections are missed.. I followed the directions exactly.. like noted. The only one not used.. was for port injection which I heat wrapped

So you DON'T have port injection or do you? Port injection ises aic controller which needs to be wired differently.
