Electrical problem
2003 Pontiac Grand Am 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 126*** miles

Symptoms: Car shaking, rough idle, hesitates when accelerating.

Codes: 302 (Missfire in cylinder 2)

Current is going over the wires. I pulled the spark plug in cylinder 2 and it didn't look like it had been firing (it was black not white like the other spark plugs). Changed cyl. 2 spark plug. Doesn't really have the hesitation as much anymore, but now has a rough idle. Does this just mean that the coil for cyl. 2 is bad?

Most likely the wire if they are OEM then way over due for replacement.

Did you read the part where I said "Current is going over the wires" meaning the wires are fine?...
