This acceleration came as kind of a jerk (imagine when you downshift and floor it), and only happens under moderately heavy usage of the right foot. Since I have never had a car tuned before, I am assuming this isn't unusual. Unfortunately, after about a hundred miles, I now have the "service engine soon" light on. Since this light came on I have noticed a slightly rougher idle. Also, if the car is in 2nd gear and going ~5-10MPH and I give it lots of gas it jerks (throwing everyone forward) and feels like it's going to stall before it takes off (throwing everyone backwards again).
So my questions are:
1) Is the service engine soon light caused by the tune or is it something I need to worry about?
2) Is the choppy acceleration I'm experiencing normal?
3) Is it normal for tuned cars to be touchy in low RMPs like what I am experiencing?
4) And finally should I be taking this back to get it looked at?
