Misfiring Problem !!!!

my car was idling real low and the car would hesitate when acclerarting. Check engine light came and and flashes when acclerating. had the code pulled up and it happened to be misfirng in cylinder 1 and 6. so in had replaced all 6 spark plugs. then started car and nothing had seem to change. it would idle real low just like it did before i changed the spark plugs out. do i have to keep it running for awhile before the ecu adjustes to the new spark plugs ? i had disconnected the battery ad the started the car for a few minutes but feels like its studdering at idle still. but the check engine light doesnt come on. I havent drove it around yet cause i thought that maybe changing the plugs wasn't the problem.

I had the same problem. My code said multiple cylinders were misfiring.
After driving just a bit I pulled the plugs out and found one to look wet,
that meant it wasn't burning the fuel in that cylinder. It wasn't the plugs fault,
but the coil pack ( which is what you unscrew to change the plug)
The dealer wanted $250 for diagnosis, parts, & labor. I'm kicking myself cuz I could have just bought the part from:
