rough start...

Today i went to the store and was only in for about 10-15 minutes, when i went to start my car it was idling low and was acting like it was about to die, i turned it off and then started it again and it was fine. the only thing i could think of is my spark plugs, i recently changed them and dont have a torque wrench but i did screw them in hand tight and put the gel stuff on them as shown in the DIY post. Is it most likely my spark plugs or what are the other possibility's???

Yeah, cold temperatures take a toll on weak batteries.
Have the charging/starting electrical system load tested at most any auto parts store for free.
