2001 Pontiac Grand Am Cylinder 1 Misfire

2.4L
CPU errors are pointing out to a misfire on Cylinder 1, as well as a miniscule fuel emission vapor leak.
The issue started when the engine started adding a bit more rpms than normal to the point that I was speeding up faster than I should of been. On start, it would sound as if it were running at higher RPMs than normal while in park. It has also been known to idle at 47mph going down the road with foot off the gas with no sign of deceleration on a level road, and a few times it's accelerated on it's own on similar situations. At one point, the catylic Converter had to be replaced, and the mechanic said the inside was melted.
So far I've tried replacing vacuum hoses in case of leaks. One vacuum hose air sensor. Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Wires, and the block that the spark plug wires plug onto. I also replace a leaking exhaust hose, and soon to replace a leaking exhause flex hose.
After tune up and catylic converter was replaced, it ran fine for about a month. Now the idling at 47mph, and idling at 2000rpms in park at start up is popping up again. What other things can I look at?

It sounds like you have more than one issue. For the misfire problem, I would replace the white plastic coil housing. They crack just like a distributor cap in places that you can't see.
