If the tune is way off, especially at idle, when you loose power to the PCM its adaptive idle learning info is lost and it will run like crap till it re-learns idle.

Drive it for a bit and see if it improves.

My tune was great. At idle sometimes then engine light would blink then turn off once i got going. Lets hope it relearns idle, other wise going back to the tuner asap

A blinking check engine indicates missfire is happening so it may be something mechanical.
