Default 2003 SilveradoSS Starts and Dies 2 seconds later

Got a fresh build here. Truck fires up, seems to run great, then it dies as if someone turned off the key. I've done some research and seems like this could be a VATS issue. Like the anti theft cuts power to the injectors and stall out the motor 1-2 seconds after start up. I've got no codes and no theft light. Here's a quick video of what I'm dealing with. Got plenty of fuel pressure (60psi) the whole time. Any help would be great. Thanks

It's got a fresh battery, fresh zippy tune uploaded. I've tried a Passive Key relearn with no luck. Tried starting it like 30 times with same results. No codes at all. Might replace the pass lock system sensor if I can't figure anything else out. Just figured I'd ask you guys if you've ever experienced this start-then die symptom before and what you did to fix it. Thanks

Is the security light flashing at all?

Might have too much starting fuel or air, then dies when it tries to correct it to target rpm it overshoots.

How crazy is the cam? Injectors tuned correctly?

Turn off VATS in the tune and I'd bet it does away. I have had this issue before with no sign of a security issue.

Appreciate the quick responses guys!! Here's the build list I have. I sent zippy an email and waiting a response. Hoping maybe it's too much start up fuel or something like you mentioned. I've heard of similar problems with FIC injectors. That they take a bit of "learning" to get them right. I was logging with HPTuners when I made the video incase I need it later to help figure this out. No theft light at all. It comes on when the key is turned on, then proves out and stays out. I checked the VATS cell on HPT and it states "none".

This is interesting. I had a small interface installed so I could use an iPod with my factory radio. Only, after it was installed the HPT interface couldn't recognize the VCM. I couldn't log or edit at all. I removed the interface harness from the radio, then the new zippy tune loaded. I did a write entire and now the truck won't stay running! Maybe it's a similar security concern? I've tried leaving the key on for like 10mins before attempting to start and it made no difference.

Also, Richard, do you have any Coilover brackets left? Once this thing is off the jack stands, I'd like to convert my torsion bars to Coilovers.

One more note, if I try applying throttle to say 30% when trying to start it, it seems like it dies even quicker.
