Default Higher nitro fuel makes engine finicky

It now sounds like you've got some debris in the needle valve. Pull the needle assembly, remove the needle valve and look through it and I bet you see a piece of something in there. Clean it out reassemble and you should be able to properly tune the engine.

Or... if you had a rough landing... hold the plane nose up, and shake it up and down a couple of times. The clunk could have gone to the front of the tank, kinking the fuel line.

Somewhere you have a fuel flow problem.
