I currently have an issue with the vehicle starting and then shutting off. Quick back story, I'm on my second revision from Freektune I was doing a 3rd gar WOT pull and when i got to 6500rpms or so i finished the log and the shifted to 4th, accelerated a little but and the car started to bog down and loose power. open the hood and found the hose from my ebcs that goes to the intake popped off.. thought once i secured it I'd be good. When i started it up it didn't run very well so I limped it home(I wasn't too far) and let it sit. No codes were set in the system. Any advice would help.

you may want to post a log of the shutdown if you can get one. kinda wonder if any other hoses got blown off in the pull and its throwing the ECU off with air leaks. guessing you don't have anything major going on like a big puddle of oil under the car or the whole thing smelling like gas.

Correct, no puddle of oil and only time I can really smell gas is if i try to start it multiple times. Didn't see any visible hoses off or loose, but i have yet to jack up the car and see if the hose from the catch can came off the PCV valve. I elimanted the MAF sensor I believe because the vehicle doesn't run whether it is plugged in or not.

Do I need something to convert the file from the log so people can read it? I usually don't read my logs just let the tuners do their thing.

Side note how do you get all of the mods and stuff at the bottom of your reply?
