Any DTCs? That sounds exactly like what I had when I didn't have VATS turned off.
Yes, computers can go bad. Usually all it takes is a good shock, or exposure (read: submersion) to alot of water. Sometimes they just crap out.
What does your tuner mean by "not sticking"? I'm sure if the tune wasn't saving, the software would let him know that it couldn't be flashed.

Yea. I think it's time he went hunting for a new tuner. If VATS was in fact deleted, then it should run. I had VATS deleted off of mine, and it ran fine(except for the damn high idle I'm troubleshooting). If in fact his software isn't "sticking" then he wouldn't have VATS deleted, correct?
