Idle problems

[tmaxx13]

So I Changed my spark plugs last night I'm driving to work this morning and my Runner died, it won't idle when coming to a stop it just dies, any clue to what could be causing this, I'm in stop and go traffic and have to keep it revd so it won't stall any ideas would be great, it is an 3.4L automatic

Check and make sure everything is plugged back in/connected.

^ Yep, Stupid question but, were they torqued down correctly?

Maybe one of the vacuum lines was not put back properly? Most likely one that is connected to the airbox. Listen around the airbox or the intake tube and listen for a sucking noise.

Ya all the plugs Are on tight, it actually did it once before changing the spark plugs I was rolling to a stop sign and died when I stopped, but started after and didn't do it till now, do I thinking it could be something else besides the plugs, but this might be a stupid question is there an exact torque lbs for torquring the spark plugs?

Yes to the above. If you don't have a torque wrench I believe the general rule of thumb is to hand tighten and then do a 1/4 turn. That is what I have always done. I think this goes without saying too but make sure you use anti-seize.
