Honda 1998 b20 ballade

Good evening....


I've got a problem on my Honda ballade 1998 with Dictator management.
Car struggled to start, eventually when it's starts, I would drive, and then it backfires, after the backfire, the rpms would drop below 1k and car will die, then it will struggle to start again.
Everyone I asked adviced me to dyno tune the car, I did that a few days ago. The very next day the same problems occurred.
Any suggestions please

Talk to your tuner, sounds like timing is off

What can be the other causes of this happening?

Yeah sounds like timing issue which could be off due to sensors not interpreting data correctly or the engine being physically out of time. I would pull the plugs and see what they look like and verify mechanical timing to start. Is the CEL on? Pull the code.
