Default Coasting cammed truck shuts down

I cammed my truck less than a year ago, but recently it has been shuting down while coasting, typically between 15-25 mph, I am running the stock converter and never had any problems until recently.
It has shutdown 3 times already while in traffic so thats not good safety wise . everything works prefectly fine in my truck other than it shuting down.
Could it be the tune?? Any suggestions??

Has it ever been tuned? Sounds like you need to slow down the throttle cracker in the tune.

What year is the truck?

It's likely the Tune needs work.

Have you cleaned the throttle body lately??? Is the filter good???

Get some one who can read your MAF Hz

and check the fuel pump output.

My Tahoe would do this kinda thing stock and replacing the MAF and pump fixed everything, but verify before you buy parts on my account

Truck has been tuned previously but i think i found the problem, I should have cleaned the throttle body before i got it tuned. I cleaned it today and damn it was dirty but i noticed that the throttle would stop at a certain point due to all the crud and dirt, once i cleaned it, i could push the throttle all the way back but it still stayed in the same position before i had cleaned the throttle, problem is that it does not close completely it stays open which causes my truck to rev to 2k in park or neutral, hopefully a retune can fix the issue

A "retune" is not going to make the throttle blade stop sticking in place.

A relearn of the throttle may help but if it still sticks in place you may need a new throttle body. On anything GEN 4 related I never push the blade open with my hands to prevent the need to relearn the throttle body.

Also being DBW, it will never fully close when running because there is no IAC. The blade is the IAC.

The throttle body looks like its in decent shape, never had a problem with it so I dont think its messed up hopefully , but it was very dirty , im going to take it to my tuner’s shop, hopefully we will just need to relearn the throttle and hopefully its a quick fix, either way ill keep you guys posted to see if this fixes the problem

Running airflow will likely need retuned if it was previously messed with. I don’t know what your mods are so just a guess

Luckly It was the throttle, my tuner adjusted the the throttle body a little, now it works completely normal and has not shut down thank God.

Why was it so dirty? Was there any creaminess coming out of the PCV inlet?
