I have the same problem with my grand am. Changed all the spark plugs and wires and it’s still doing the same thing. Don’t know what else it could be.

i dont know to much about this ,but had similiar problem so,i would guess that you might have a faulty spark plug pack, or tip.... check your plug bottom out and see if any are "torn"at bottom,because they will "ground" to the walls... then see if theres any blue to white "arch", to see which "one" it might be... for the pack..hope this helps...
