Default Spark plug blow out

So I recently had my spark plug blow out of cylinder 6 hole and I got the Timesert kit and rethreaded the hole and put the plug back in. But once I started the car it would idle at 3000rpm for a min and drop to 2000rpm. I'm sure it's still misfiring but what else could be the problem. I'm positive I put the plug in straight and tight. Just don't know if the plug is all the way down or not and I don't have time to pull the heads off?

Sounds like you've got a pretty big vacuum leak somewhere. Check all of your lines, I seriously doubt this has anything to do with the spark plug blow out.
