Each ignition coil is attached to each spark plug with a long rubber connector, or "boot." Sometimes the rubber of the boot will deteriorate. This can cause the spark energy to short circuit to the valve cover instead of reaching the spark plug. Removing the coils and wrapping the boots with a layer of electrical tape can solve this problem, or at least rule it out as an issue.
