car not running well

ok heres a little background info. ok about a month ago my camaro was running like crap. well it seem like the number 8 and maby 6 piston wasnt firing so i replace all 8 sparkplugs and did a seafoam and she started running really good.

ok up to date, i was driving my car home today and when i turned her off she backfired pretty load. well i gave her a second and started her back up and she was running kinda bad. when i would rev her up it would take her a little longer than before. she kinda acting like she did before i replaced the sparkplugs and feafoamed her. anyideas.

also before she backfired when she was in park or nutrl, she would idel about 1500rpm. thats what she was idealing right before i turned her off. i know i just need to lower the ideal speed scerw. iv had to do it before. as i said any ideas
