If you have HPTuners, check out the repository on their website with hundreds of tunes loaded up.
For starters, bump up your idle speed and idle airflow, that should get it running long enough to start logging.
And without knowing your level of expertise, if you don't know what the above two values are, than you should probably have it tuned by an expert. Depending on the size of cam, tuning can be very tricky.

You can look in HPtuners Help section to learn how to make one. I'll send you one though. 
Sent you an email. Reply to that email and tell me where you got that " base tune" from. Working nights this week, so I may answer emails at odd hours.

What's your set up. Guys might have a close tune already.
Remember NOT to upload someone elses tune in your car. You have to cut and paste their cells into your file

Before you can try any sort of logging, you have to get it stable enough to run logs, and that means running long enough to warm up, get the wideband to operating temperature and let the STIT and LTIT's settle in.

You say you have a good tune, but the car won't stay running

The car is running great and I'm a dumb ***. ok here it goes. I pulled a copy of the stock tune off my car before I even began the heads, Intake and cam swap so I could send it to a respected tuner on these forums who provided me a base tune for my H/I/C swap. To make a long story short. I thought I put the H/I/C tune on the car but after checking just to make sure, it became apparent to me that I did not. I left the stock tune on the PCM. After putting the H/I/C tune on there the car runs like a champion. Well, it runs well enough to drive it around and up to the dyno for some tuning.
Heres a short video clip of my car at idle. no real tuning yet.
