Very weird electrical problem
I’ll make this short
02 Silverado with every power option except seats
I have owned this truck for 7 years and it has been through many stages, everything in the truck works like it is supposed to. Yesterday I took the truck to the dyno for a tune up, I drove the truck there, I swapped my injectors out at the dyno and installed ID1000’s, I drove the truck on the dyno, then shut it off. I hooked up the HPT, read and saved the file. The truck then would not start. It would crank and quick fire and die, I went over entire truck for about 5 hours. I swapped original tune back in, swapped injectors back in, check for injector pulse with noid light(good) checked spark(good) VATS is disabled and also passed the check when enabled, I have 2x pumps in my tank, I wire 1x pump to run constantly for fuel pressure, still no start. I even swapped ECM’s, same results. Here is the kicker. Truck put back to where it was when I drove it to the dyno, sprayed a bit of either and got truck to stay running it would then start and stop totally fine until the ECM for reflashed. Then I would have to assist the truck with a bit of either to get it to run, and then it would be totally fine.
Anyone have an issue like this? Im thinking perhaps a voltage drop across The ignition switch, or something with startup on the injector drivers, or communication between the BCM/ECM
Any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated
Thanks guys

I saw a thread on tech where someone was having a similar issue after using one of the newer versions of HPT.

I've had this problem a bunch on Gen 3 stuff. Never found a solution. Was stranded at a gas station for like an hour once. My only fix was to keep trying to start it and eventually it would work. Always tended to happen after flashing a file in. I'm sure there's a solution but I've never dug deep enough to find out what it is.

7 or 8 years ago my silverado would do that with EFI Live.
Stopped at a gas station to fill up, adjust the tune some, flash it in and no start. Could flash that tune in 20 times and no difference.
Go back to a older tune, flash it in and it would crank and run just fine. Then i could flash in my updated tune that originally wouldnt crank on, it would fire up and run just fine.
Maybe some kinda data interruption?
Had one time i got a phone call while flashing in a tune and it took forever to get it to crank with different tunes.
Sometimes a full flash would do the trick. Dunno what thats called with HPT though.
