Angry Truck won't start!

Made a small changed with HPT and wrote file! MAF now won't fail and it won't start! This issue has happened before and really comes and goes. I've tried reflashing it again with no luck. Starts and dies! I check codes and nothing.....
In the past once the MAF codes show up it'll start and be fine.
Any ideas???? PM me your email if you want to see my file!

How many times have you tried starting it? Does it run for a sec or two then stall out?

There isn't a MAF! Wires are there but it's not! ECM could be an issue but not sure? I've tried starting it until the battery started getting weak. It starts and then dies out. Doesn't matter if you try and throttle it or not. Once the MAF codes set it will start and run fine!

Anyone ever hear about an ECM having issues from repeated programming?

Hmm, All the obvious stuff looks right. DTC stuff is set correctly and so is MAF fail. I am not really sure.

I would try unhooking the battery for 10min or so, flash stock file back in and then write entire current tune and see if anything changes

Thank you for looking! Was there supposed to be something secret?
