Exclamation 99 Grand Am Quad 4 hearing sparks- running ruff

Hello,

I read most of the replys that where posted before...Thank you to the members that help out....
1999 grand am se Quad 4 192000 miles auto tran
It started with a light service soon. They read it at Advance auto store. They told me that cyinder #4 was missfiring. I had change the spark plugs about 3000 miles ago. The guy at Adavnce told me to change the booths. Well $20 later..I removed the cover & also the Thortle body(carb house) which came off from the air filter housing..the big tubing going to the (TB)carb had lot of oil in the square piece under a sensor(clean it out). When I uncover the carb it was dirty with carbon build up so I clean it with carb cleaner & put it back on the blue rubber seal. Clean the spring area & moved the acc cable&cruisecable out of why to get sparks plugs...their was a little oil between 1&2 and 3&4.. clean that out.. took out all plugs sanded and clean plug with carb cleaner place them back in. Took off all old boots and replace with new ones. Tight every thing back down. Replace a little rubber vacum hose that was on the carb. hook up all 6 different sensors. put back on (TB)carb housing and tube to air filter.

Started car run great for about 75 sec took around block every time step on gas it pause big time running very ruff (worse than I started) I listen under the hood & hearing a Sparking under the cover(Quad4). Can the new booth be BAD? or should I replace the coil?

I just need to get it run good enought to sell?

Thanks for anybody's help!
