Default b16DA9 sputering after spark plug install???HELPP

Story. I just bought a 91 integra with a jdm b16(pr3). Drove it and noticed that it dies down or pauses if i keep the rpm steady. When i press the gas it seems to drive fine. So I figured that i would change the plug. When I pulled the plugs out i noticed that all except plug 1 had oil on it. Now this car also has an oil leak around the head gasket on the passenger side. After putting in the Iridium denso plugs in, the car sputter and seems like it was about to cut off. When i got home i checked the plugs to see if they where drowned in oil again, but there where fine. What could the problem be. I took the car back out 30 minutes later and it seem fine. It sputtered once or twice but that was it.

can someone help PLEASEE???
