Check and see if you have a loose spark plug after your tune-up. Check the codes again and see which cylinder is mis-firing.

Because the exact same thing happened to me after I let a local mechanic change the plugs on my 97 back in the summer. Ran great for a short period of time. Then had a bad misfire again. One plug was REALLY loose.

I'm asking again--what codes are being shown now that it's misfiring again?
