Default my car is going retarded!!!!! help

ok, well rently, i got my ecu chipped and tuned, well not tuned properly,and it ran pretty ok, but i got it dynoed, ad it showed that i had lost 10 hp. then i took th ecu out and pt my original ecu back in and evrything went back to normal. until today, it started goig retarded on ym in first gear. it jerked like crazy in the lower rpms..as in 1,500-2,000 range. and it feels as if its really weak in the lower rpms as well. it takes more force t get it up and going. so what could be the problem. it hasnt done this before i got he ecu chipped. im thinking since it wasnt tuned properly, then it messed with my fuel pump pr something. i dont know though, can someone help me?
