That is random misfire. Did it do this before the tune up?

They can look good, but can be deceiving at the same time, also check out the mass air flow sensor and o2 sensors and cats. All can cause the po300. If its flashin it's detecting a very bad misfire

Im not sure on the rpms at idle when cold. It doesn't seem to flash when warmed up. If the engine light disnt flash i would not know there was a problem
