I took the car to my uncle's repair shop and had him look at it. He checked for spark for the #2 cylinder at the ignition coil pack and found no spark. I got a new ignition coil pack & problem solved.
Just for your info, the coilpack probably toasted from having a bad plug wire that went open, and not fixing it right away. If the wire doesn't work (goes open), then the spark at the coil tries to jump through from the inside of the coil to find ground. It usually winds up burning a hole through the insulation of the coil, finding it's way to ground. Then when you put the new plug wire on, the spark still travels the easiest path to ground (which is that hole through the insulation that it burned through. I've seen that happen a lot on newer cars (with their HEI ignitions) on a day to day basis in the field.

Ok, after some digging, (I had this done back in August of 1998). I bought the coil pack at Napa Auto Parts for 76.99 plus tax. This problem occured at 63,323 miles. I hope this answers your question. I am not sure how much they currently sell it for. I have a 1995 Ford Contour V6 Duratec.
