Default New motor, passenger side fires, driver side doesnt

i had a mailorder tune done for my new motor, when starting the motor the passenger side fires fine but theres not fire on the driver side, is this possible to be a bad pcm or a bad tune, have tried everything and am begining to wonder if its the tune or a bad pcm , any help would be much appreciated.

Try cleaning the PCM connections and try again. DO you still have your old PCM?

have you gone through the harness? Mine did the same thing..and i ended up having the coil pack harness cut on the drivers side. Pull any tape/loom off and inspect the wire harness.

i am using the original pcm. concluded its not the tune, tried a diff comp from a 99 and it did same thing, driver side will not fire at all, car started with same result. im feel`n pretty confident eithre a wiring issue is happening or my ignition coil is fubar. i am no tworking on it, i have a buddy doing it and have relayed all info to him, im am bout 100% confident its on his end at this point, i will know more tomrow and hopefully its a cut wire or a bad wire or somethign in relations to the wiring. thanks for your responses fellas , this damn ls1 is stressn me

We did disconnect the battery negative before attempting to pull the pcm and re-install it............yes?

Might be a wise idea in the future since the pcm has a constant hot going to it.
