Car won't stay running
You do have the wire on right I assume. 1-4 and 2-3. I have seen some guys put them back on wrong. With that being said could explain your O2 not reading correctly.
Good Luck

The O2 is probably bad but I don't see how that would cause the whole problem, sure it would run bad but now it won't even start and doesn't even seem to be trying.
The cars not even trying to start or turning over now. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? There's no way an O2 sensor would make the car not even turnover...

The o2 and crank sensor plugs are in the same area as the coil plug, passengers side.
Something's not plugged all the way, or your ckp is bad. A bad o2 won't stop your car from starting LOL

You just said the car drove fine before an now after you change the plugs it idles like crap an now won't start??? You need to triple check all your connections. Not sure how a car can magically not run after you change a part when before hand it was operating fine.
I think your chasing your tale and might want to get someone more mechanically inclined to look over it for you.

your best bet remove the connectors for the ckp and the 02 sensor which should both be buy the passenger side of the valve cover. Remove them spray some of the connection cleaner spray in them look inside make sure the pins in them arent bent, reconnect them, disconnect the battery, reconnect after 15 mins then try starting it. And not for anything never put autolite plugs ever in your car. There **** they might be ok on hondas but not on evos man. Either put in a new set of bpr8es, or go with a one step colder iridium plug, like the denso iw24 thats what im running. As for the possible bad spark connection, get some dye electric grease and coat the inside of the spark plug rubber insulator on each cylinder with that grease, and make sure when your puttin them back on top of the spark plug you hear a little click, thats how you know the rubber boots are properly connected onto the spark plug, or else your gonna get spark that shorts out on the head and doesnt fire the plug. Hope this works try it and report back. good luck
I don't think the battery is dead I will test it though.
