Default Won’t start while hot

Hey guys new here,
So i’m just getting my build running i have a twin turbo 5.3 on a terminator X

Im having trouble with my car wanting to die out and not idle when it’s cold it starts up find idles fine but if i shut it off when it’s at temperature and i try to restart it it won’t start it just sputters and dies out, im pretty sure it has something to do with the tune
Im on the base tune with my specifications i haven’t changed anything with the idle or fueling besides me having it running on e85. i put in all the information for my sensors, map (3 bar) oil pressure ect

It could be any number of things.

Without a tune/log, we are just guessing.

So you are on the base tune and haven't changed anything yet? Yeah, you need to actually tune it.
