2004 kia optima arcing around the coil pack

I have a 2004 kia optima 4cylinder. 2 weeks ago, it did not start up right away, i had to try twice then it seemed to be fine, pulling onto a busy street from a stop, it bogged (flooring it didn't seem to give enough power, but it finally came around.) pulled codes from home after the check engine light came on, can't recall the code # but it read ''misfire in cylinder 2.'' noticed arcing over one of the coils. got professional diagnostics, with results, replace mass airflow sensor, spark wires and coil boots.
replaced spark plugs (with proper gapping), spark plug wires, coil boots, and the MAF sensor. it is still not starting properly and is still arcing over the same coil.
WFT?

2002 kia optima has intermittent miss; usually upon first cranking, sometimes when stopped at redlights (misses so bad almost dies). About 9 months ago I replaced plugs and wires, I bought Iridium plugs...

I would replace all of the coil packs. If one goes bad the others are soon to follow. Also one weak one can kill the others. You may want to consider using non-OEM if the dealer wants $100 or more per coil. You can find non-OEM for maybe $30.

Where is primary coil in 4 cyl. 04 optima

Well i dont really know Optima's but the most easy way to find it is to find the spark plugs that go into the block of the car and then follow the wires to the other end away from the block of the car to the other end of the wires and thats where your coil packs will be. Hope that is some help
