Default Car has rough idle and low rpm after replacing spark plugs

I recently replaced my spark plugs on my 09 Saturn Aura XR 3.6L v6 using Bosch double iridium spark plugs. When I start my car, it has a rough idle and all of a sudden drop down to a very low RPM like around 500-1000 or so. Much lower than usual. I know that it's not an issue with the spark plugs themselves because this product does not need gapping as it's been preset to fit Saturn Auras. I made sure that the plugs are in the right ignition coils. I don't know what could be causing this. Any thoughts?

Spark plug interchange tables are as you have noticed, are often useless.

I agree with derf. I wouldn't put Bosch plugs in a lawnmower, let alone my car. They suck.
