Wrong plugs! AC Delco Iridium 41-103

I think there is an uncertain period of time, where the computers relearn your driving habits, after throttle body cleaning. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

I replaced the plugs with the correct AC Delco plugs. Does it take awhile for the computer to readjust after all I did?

It can , you could do a battery lobotomy, simply disconnect the ground wire only at the battery for a full 30 minutes.

You could just disconnect the car's battery for 20 min. That will reset all the onboard computers to baseline.
( Disconnect the negative cable at the battery. Do Not touch or disconnect the positive. Reconnect after 20 mins. )

I'll drive it for a few days and see if it re adjusts. If not I'll do the battery lobotomy. Thanks for all the help.
