need help asap

recently my x has had a little bump to its idle not much just a little. I think i read on this forum that sea foam has a product called deep creep that you spray into the t.b when its running and it cleans the intake system. I did this last night by the direction and this morning my x has a big idle problem now. It killed itself once and sounds like has a slight miss. Has anybody used this and had a problem? Could using this product have fouled my plugs the wires and coil pack have spark. The plugs and wires were changed about 15000 ago. Quick help would be nice i have to take the x on a trip tomorrow.
