tuning issue???


Well i got my car out of the shop yesterday and it was running great until this morning when it wouldnt turn over... When it finally did i couldnt let it drop below 1000 rpms without dying.. i called up my tuner and was informed to reinstall the tune and it should correct the tune. After doing so i started to run fine but we cant help but think if its either a tuning issue or if it has something to do with the ecu itself not retaining the tune.. I need opinions on what this issue may be... thx for any input

It won't turn over (as in wonk crank when you turn the key)....or it won't start running. Those are two very different things which would point in different directions.

itll do both... at times it wont crank and at times like in my driveway itll idle fine bounce a little then just cut out... i know my mech put some pretty heavy oil in it when he changed the cams but i doubt it could be bogged down from that... is there anyway to clean the o2 sensors or is it just a replacement i need
