Sounds like a stupid owner problem to me. Re-trace your steps.

leave anything unplugged?
install the correct plugs?
is there oil in the plug holes?
are your plug wires fucked?

beat me to it... even if everything is plugged in, double check, and make sure everything is nice and tight. Everything can look ok, and you still have a loose connector. IAC could be the culprit as well. I always used cheap ass autolight coppers.. changed them every time I changed my oil. They worked perfectly fine.

I bet you havent checked codes. Everyone should go through the basics before posting. Spark, fuel, codes. But in this case you only need codes to see if you forgot something

Platinum and iridium are not as conductive as copper is. Thats what i meant but copper doesnt last aslong as those 2. I would use iridium to daily a car.
