Default spark plug question

Ok first of all never let anyone other than you work on ur car, anywayz about 5 weeks ago i let someone else change my plugs because its a pain in the lt1 and he left the back one lose on the right side and it came out when i was going down the highway and made my car go all crazy last night and it was dark and i had really no lights to put it back in so i put it back in and now its tight and all but my car is idleing like 2-3 hundred rpms higher and its alittle choppy and if im getting on it sometimes it will like stop pulling around 4k rpms and just like sit there, wat do u think this means?

Just a guess but check that plug wire to see if it got burnt while floping around back there (dosn't take long to burn wires on hot manafolds)

Yeh check all the wires to make sure none are burnt up. Thats your best bet.

I don't let anyone work on my car unless I know them or they specifically work on f-bodies. Never take it to some minimum waged jiffy lube guy, or what ever the case might be.

also running it with no fire for a few moments could foul out the plug that the wire came off of, might have to replace that, i noticed it did not take much to foul the plugs on these lt1s
