Car running shitty at idle
recently my car has started running really crappy at idle it smells like the car is running really rich. i have a custom tune by paul 06blkg85ss and i know he knows his tuning i had that done back in october of last year the car ran fine up untill a month or so ago. from a performance stand point the car hasnt lost a step only a touch slower i used to put my friends car @ my rear bumper now he hangs by my door so its only a touch slower and i know that could be from alot of things. gas milage is still the same everything points to the car being fine but when im idleing if feels like iv lost a cylender it vibrates like crazy and when i have the ac on forget about it the whole dash rattels, i do have poly tranny mounts but theyve been in for 4 months now and this only started like a month ago. i got a cel and i had it checked it was the catalyst inefficency code so idk.
my mods are vibrant header/dp w/ high flow cat 2.5in corsa 2.5 exaust, injen cai and the custom tune. sorry of that was a tough read i jsut got home from work so bare with me but if anyone has anyideas please let me know. im guessing its just in the tune and a retune would solve my problems

Go change your plugs and see if it goes away. Once you got with a higher HP than stock its not uncommon to have to change those almost at every oil change. I mean the tune is fine you know that, the only other thing it could be is ignition...
When my car was stock on stage 2 only i had to change the plugs....
