did you have this could before you put the spark plugs in? you probably have a bad cat did you ever replace it in 74k miles if not its bad! "you should you should get a compression test done just to see how strong your engine is at 74k but that has nothing to do with your problem" do you have any modes?

show us the codes the car is throwing... I would do compression test.

what year is your evo, what kind of NGK's you installed.

Remeber if your CE goes away or you get it fixed, you need to put some miles before you go to emmisions, so Ecu can re-learn all the codes.
