Timing jumping would explain a lot.

Lack of vacuum, running issues, inconsistencies.

Almost positive it was after..when locking vtec be4 the recent tune.. car wouldnt idle if the rpm dropped under 1000rims but the vacuum wasnt crazy low or I would remembered..big digital gauge in the cluster hard not to see it..i have a short video of the idle after the tune how could I post it?

Timing jumped on the dyno ? And ran threw out dyno runs while tuning.. doubt it..I got the car back with -13 vacuum..I seen it right away but figured since it was literally just tuned it wasnt a bad thing
