Default Spark Plug change

Ok. I changed my spark plugs today and gaped them at .054. I noticed on the drivers side all the plugs looked what to be some oil on them. Is that normal? I took the car out for a test drive afterwards and now it is sputering when I give it full throttle. When it is idling it is fine. Aroung 2-3000 rpms it gets to start actin funny. What do you guys think this may be? I got the NGK Vpower plugs

Did you gap all of them properly? Did you reinstall the coil packs correctly? Its normal for them to have a little oil on them...Mines had it when I changed them like 30k miles ago...

Yup. I drove it twice and the second time it seemed fine. Then I took it out again and the same thing happened. I had my manifold changed bout 1 month ago and I wonder if some coolant had gotten in the plug area. There was something wet and I thought it was oil but then same of it looked to be clear.

Did you have that problem before the spark plug change?

Did you tighten them in just right? Did you use a torque wrench?
