    Camaro 2014 6.2 E38 Downgrade from stage

    Hello! Camaro 2014 6.2 E38
    The vehicle was bought from Copart and it was stage 2 or stage 3, but right now it naturally aspirated the engine without a supercharger and with factory fuel injectors also without VVT
    When I started working with this vehicle, the engine would start and immediately stop.
    I took the stock maps from the same Camaro and manually changed the maps. After that, the engine starts and idles but it has no power
    Can somebody take a look and advise me on something or help me with this? It's just my first use of HP Tuners...

    Need to post a data log. That's going to tell more about what's going on than the tune file.

    Does it have a stock camshaft in it now?

    Do you have a fuel pressure gauge on the car? If not, that's the very first thing you need to do.

    Now it has a camshaft without a VVT actuator and a camshaft position sensor.
    I'll be able to post the log in the evening
    Yes, it has a fuel pressure gauge

    I understand it is VVT delete. I also understand it has a camshaft. What kind of camshaft was the question? Is it s stock cam, or aftermarket stage 1, 2, 10, etc.

    Where is the fuel pressure gauge?

    What is the fuel pressure?

    I have not changed the camshaft, the owner bought it like this. Can I somehow check what type of camshaft it is? Or do I need to remove it to check&

    Should be a stock tune in the HPT tune repository. Or at least a pretty close year.
