Default 98 civic starts running rough then CEL

98 civic, 289000kms, 5spd, non-vtec.

Driving home in some snow tonight, car started running rough, as though on 3
cylinders.

CEL started flashing. Code was P0302 at first. My code reader cleared it,
then the flashing CEL came back. Read P0300, P0301, P0303, P0304. No other
codes.

I recently replaced the cap, rotor and sparkplugs (all from dealership). I
am using Bosch plug wires (I know, but they have a lifetime warranty
apparently), so I replaced the wires with new bosch wires (warranty as
mentioned).

While changing the wires, I decided to check the condition of the sparkplugs.
They all looked fantastic, but I did notice that they were all pretty loose!
Not falling out loose, but not tight.

Tightened them down, seated the plug wires, and all seems OK now. I also
reset the computer as the idle was a little low after completing the work.

My question is: Did I solve my problem here, or is this a sporadic problem
perhaps with the ingitor? Anyone else out there have this issue before?
