Strange Problem !

My 9-5 '11 Premium has just come out of the shop after a 5 month stay!
There was no real significant issue except long start times and stumbling at idle.
Lots of things were tried, ie reprogramming the engine computer, obviously changing plugs , cleaning the fuel system.. Nothing would cure it.
Finally finding that a leakdown test indicated some valve issue, the head was removed and several of the valves had enough buildup up on the stems that they could not completely close. In addition all of the fuel injectors had softened plastic where they fit into the fuel rail. In retrospect they symptoms began last spring after running on mostly E85 fuel.
Not having a warranty this was a VERY painful experience and cost $5700 to fix ! ! !
