As an "old school" engine builder in my earlier years, I am entering into the tuning world with the help of my son...who lives 100 miles from me. Because of the distance between us, it makes it very hard to take it to him for any tuning adjustments.
I bought the HP tuner software and MVPI2+ so I could grab logs and e mail them to my son and then upload changes he sends back to me. I dont have enough knowledge to make any changes myself so I just upload what he sends to me.
Before I dive into my request for help, I thought I would give you the engine details.
I have a 2007 Suburban LTZ with a "Y" aluminum block 6.0. The engine dropped a valve seat which required a rebuild. It had 234K on it at the time.
I had it bored .30 over with flat top pistons.
Removed all the DOD garbage and installed the following from Comp Cams

CAMSHAFT, LS1 269Lr HR-112, Double Springs and lifters for this cam

Cats have been removed and it has a 3 inch MBRP exhaust. I just bought an AEM 30-0300 X-Series Wideband UEGO AFR Sensor Controller Gauge but I dont have it installed yet. I will install it using the serial option as opposed to the Pro version which I did not purchase from HP Tuners.
The suburban will pass anything except a gas station and pulls strong and hard from about 4 grand to 6500 .
My current struggle is cold start issues, once I get going, all is fine. I did try to research this on my own but it is over my head at this early stage of trying to learn. I am hoping someone can tell me in layman's terms what is going on with the tune. Once i understand what the problem(s) are, then I can learn what it takes to correct them.....I hope
Soooo my question is... would someone take a look at my log from a cold start earlier today and take a look at the current tune. I just dont understand why it will start fine and after I let it idle for about 10-15 seconds, it will die as soon as I put it in reverse. It will restart fine and idle fine but if I don't let it idle for about 30-45 seconds, it will die again. once I let it idle long enough, it does not die and I can get going.
The log file is a trip around the block with a quick hard acceleration near the end. The tune file is what was uploaded last weekend when the cats were removed
Thanks in advance for any assistance or comments
