    It would benefit you to put in the correct injector data, just saying. Will need more base running airflow too.

    Still running a MAF or going speed density?
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    If you disable the MAF, it will force it to SD mode. That forces the engine to run on the VE table instead of the MAF and VE.

    You can unplug the MAF and force it to SD.

    Have you had your injectors flowed?

    You need to either spend a couple of months reading on here, watching you tube, and maybe pick up some of Greg Bannish’s books or hire a tuner to get this going. It’s going to be very hard starting at the very beginning and explaining everything via a question/answer back and forth.

    OK, lots going on here.

    First, you need to know whether it's setting the P0103 code. A lot of GEN3 PCMs have a tough time setting the code right after a flash or battery reset. When they do this they start and stall just like a VATS problem.

    Second thing, zeroing the MAF table makes this worse when the problem is present. Sometimes restoring the MAF table allows them to run long enough to set the code.

    Third, without know what injectors are in it, it's impossible to know if the data is correct which then leads to not knowing if the rest of the math is incorrect.

    Flash this file in and then when you attempt to start it, check your codes with your scanner. If P0103 isn't present it won't run. Sometimes you have to crank it multiple times for it to set, then it'll take off and run normal.

    P0342 is a cam sensor code. I don't know that it would set that code, but you did match up the reluctor tooth count to the ecm?

    If you are trying to post a log, it should have a hpl extension. And they are auto saved even if you didn't save them when closing a scan.
