check your sparkplug gap and make sure that your coils and wire connections are all snug......

also make sure you have the right coils in the right holes and if you unplugged the clips make sure they are snug like mentioned above

if you didnt use torqe wrench to tighten the spark plugs, i think you tighten too much. i thing head is broken, i think something else might be broken. i think you should go to machanic shop. i hope you its not a big problems. good luck.

does the spark plug have a resistor? is it properly gapped? what brand is it? i wanted to try the pulstar plugs but i know they don't work well on the evo's. NGK plugs are good.
