it's not your plugs.......your plugs barely affect idle only under throttle....check all you piping and clamps

Full tank lol
Day before yesterday- i drove for 5 hrs to and from long island and happen to go over a cone that some idiot hit.(not sure if it had any affect, i don't see any damage and can't get under the car really)
Yesterday morning- the car wouldn't start so I tried resetting the computer and it started right up. Later that night it died again.
Today-changed the plugs but still nothing

I have had at least a 1/3 of a tank and even filled up last night so I should be good.

Ok, so I went to autozone for the free scan and nothing came up. The car actually started idling when my friend fully warmed the car up...only at 5-600rpms though. So cold start doesn't happen and a warm start takes some time. The car runs fine once its going even though I haven't given it much gas. I am off to the shop tom. to have them look at it. I have had enough neutral/break/gas techniques coming to a halt. We'll see what happens.

The idle air control valve was cleaned at autozone. I checked the throttle plate too and it was still clean from when I looked at it 6 months ago. So something might be clogged somewhere else then?

Not the plugs +2

Could be a fuel pump intermitten issue. Could be intermitten coil bad. Does it crank hard? Crank normaly but not start? Check your main ground cables

Evo does not have an external fuel filter.

I read that the recommended replacement when using the ngk copper plugs was every 3k miles which seems incredibly short, but the iridium plugs was something like 30-35k.
