Default tuning woes... wtf?

i had my car tuned, 16-17afr on cruise to help with the mpg, and around 13 on wot. idles around 1000.

now, with the new car, my car was left alone for a month without being driven.

i drove it today, idle is now 1600, afr on cruise is 14, and wot is at 10. of course it feels sluggish.

what the F just happened? NOTHING was changed on the car at all. vtec doesnt have the zing is used to have, i could even hear some misfiring when vtec engages. i didnt pull the plugs though yet.

ADDED

the car is tuned on neptune. my cel is also on, so i reseted the ecu several times to try fix the problem and it did. could this have caused a problem with the tuned chip???

So, both problem are fixed. But, the "vtec doesnt have the zing is used to have, i could even hear some misfiring when vtec engages" is a mystery.
