Default do ya have to let plugs bed in ?

Re above -

Hi all

Changed plugs on my impreza last night even thoe the ones i took out looked good ( anyway piece of mind mod).
After doin the job ( just got caught in rain ), the car when slowin down or at a stop after a run kept rev hunting !!!wanting to cut out stall almost .
I didnt think about it much because i thought the airflow sensor plug had got wet in the rain so continued on home .
But this morin on the way to work it seemed fine again untill i came to a stop at a junction and it did cut out and stall ??, i have reset the ecu at work and ill see how i get on the way home .
