Default fuel cutout issue

Soooo, I have this ongoing issue with my car bucking. It does it on decel which I understand but what I don't get is that now it's doing it while I'm trying to accelerate. Particularly when I'm backing up or when I completely stop and try to take off, even if I do it really slowly, the rpms will just drop so low that it kills the car sometimes. Also, sometimes when I'm cruising and I'll start giving it gas, it won't recognize it for 3-4 seconds and all of a sudden it catches on and flies forward. I had a dyno tune and I have brought it back since then. He dampened the decel fuel cut a little. It made it not buck as hard but the bucking while accelerating started after that. It doesn't do all of this ALL the time. Some days it doesn't, some it does, and some it's REALLY bad. Doesn't seem to depend on temp or humidity, just random. Wondering if this still sounds like a tuning issue, or if maybe it's something defective with the fuel system, IACV, TPS? I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance and sorry for the book.

check engine light working/on? sounds like an idle control system code is putting your car in limp mode.

CEL works but isn't on. Hondata doesn't show any codes. (wire snapped off the plug to my vtec solenoid a week ago and they both recognized it so I'm 100% they're both good for it)

Not too sure but the only time I had this problem it was an o2 problem.
Factory o2 was reading wrong and lean out the car.

Ive got an AEM wideband. The readings seem normal. It drove perfect today and on decel I could see the fuel cut but I'd barely be able to feel it. I'm wondering if its not the fuel cut itself doing it but maybe something else happening during fuel cut? Still lost :/
