Swap the cop's with 2 different cylinders. Clear the codes and see if the codes follow the cop's or stay at the same cylinders. While it's apart check for moisture or burning on the boots and plugs.

An EVAP (as in evaporative emissions) code isnt going to be the cause for a misfire on 2 cylinders. If you meant the code is for a leak in the fuel system perhaps you should check that out; check fuel pressure if you can.

And as stated above inspect your coils it wont take long.
