Default Feels like stalling...

Hey all,

Looking for a bit of help regarding my 2010 LV focus.

Yesterday, it started feeling like the car was hesitant when driving, and like it wanted to stall a bit when stopped.
So I had a look to see what was causing this and it turned out the cylinder 3 sparkplug was loose. Tightened it up, and that seemed to solve the issue mostly but not entirely.
Now today, the engine light is on, and it feels like it wants to stall again when stopped, and a little bit when driving...

What do you guys think could be the issue here? I thought tightening the plug would fix the problem.....

engine light may be on because the idle is too low especially if you are running on only 3 cylinders. is the plug loose again?
