Charlie is a good tuner but getting everything right in a mail-order tune without logging anything is a pretty big crap shoot. I'd be surprised if 20 percent of all mail order tunes ran decently with that many mods. You need to get it to a tuner who can work with the car in person.

ok so i got the connector i needed of a wrecked 07 cobalt. installed and hooked it up. same exact issue. it made no difference. the only thing i notice is in the 3 seconds it does run i have to constantly keep the throttle open above 1/4 and even then she dies no matter what. but damn is she running rich. it burns my eyes in the garage. i think my fuel tables are way off??? any thoughts? i hooked up my obd2 scanner and the only codes i get are for the evap system and its not hooked up and i plan to tune it out. i hear no air being sucked in from the intake indicating a large vacuum leak so it should in theory run. but its not. please help. shes headed to the dyno friday and i need to get her on the trailer.

i am ok with that being the issue. ill winch her on the trailer and let my tuner do his magic. i just want to make sure when i drop her off its not an issue on my end that he charges me more for to get it running.
