Angry 98 civic low idle after replacing sparkplugs!

the idle has always been low on the car at or around 450-500. i decided to change the spark plugs because i just bought the car. i installed the same autolite spark plugs as it had. after i changed the plugs the car seemed to run better. but later that day i noticed the idle was very low with the ac off...like resting on the line at 0. i noticed the the car seemed to be missing every 20 sec or so, i can hear it at the exhaust pipe. the car runs like a champ but dies or almost dies at lights now. any sugestions? the car is stock right now.

thanks
