I had a similar problem with my 95 sportage. Turned out that the plug cover on the wire had a small tear and the spark was jumping out the hole to the head. Since its almost impossible to get replacement wire sets localy, I had to buy a do it your self racing wirekit... had no problems since.
Was upset I spent so much on coil and plugs to find that dang tear...
