Default Misfire/sputtering?

The other day I had a blinker go out on my car, so I replaced both bulbs. Now my car will start missing/sputtering at random times. Didn't notice anything loose and don't know how it could have anything to do with blinker bulbs but it started right after changing them. Has anyone had anything like this happen or know where I should start looking to solve the problem? Thanks for your help.

I not sure if this will help, but one thing I noticed is it only does it when the car is warm, after you kill the car and then start it back up, it last about a minute then stops.

I have had this exact problem since I owned my car. It does it one out of every ten warm starts as soon as I drive off. In my case, I've just learned to live with it because it lasts for 2 seconds and goes away and runs normally... Hopefully this isn't a bad thing. I haven't got a SES light from it yet...
