yes it will. id check ur injectors. the 2.85 on gm tune may have killed them. I'v heard of ppl being safe up to 2.80 on stage 2 tune but every car is diffrent.

Pull the plugs. Let the fuel evaporate from the cylinder. Dry off the Plugs with a heatgun.

pull the plugs out

pull the fuel pump relay

crank the engine for a few seconds(15)

repeat till the fuel smell is gone

dry your plugs or install new ones

put relay back in

start engine

was it stuck open?

I just looked at your mods, maybe one (or more) went static, and resulted in stuck solinoid.

Did they warranty the 42s?
