Many people have told me - and they were all women, for some reason - that limp can feel as good as full power some times.

Tuner might have changed one of the idle maps, as I understand it, there are many. Different idle maps can be called upon under different driving circumstances but really I'm at the limits of my knowledge. Post a note in the engine tuning section, those guys are smart - or contact your tuner and they can sort it out.

So you come here tell us "oh I have an idle problem I have no idea what it could be" then like 5 posts later when someone asks you if had anything installed you say " oh I just got tuned yestarday" did it ever occure to you, that when asking to troubleshoot your problem we could use that little tidbit of information. SMH

well excuse me mother. I had also forgot to mention that it was 103 outside with 78% humidity that day. My octain was 93 and my tire pressure is all set at 34. My rear passenger tends to hang around 33 though. I didn't have my seat belt on. Guess ill throw that in there as well

Sounds like you have developed a boost leak.
And sarcasm is not a good way to make friends or to ask for help.
