Firstly I suggest do not drive the car since Misfires may Damage the CAT. Pre and Post.
Bucking as in what? of you may describe it I hopefully can help more. Possibilites could be carbon build up(ping)
I suggest towing to a local mechanic.Or if you have a good Generic scantool Plug it up and check out the codes that will help narrow it down. It can be alot more than just misfires!
Also you dont need to replace spark plug WIRES on these vehicles until well they dont have current flow anymore.They were designed to last the life of the vehicle
Cylinders 1&3 -2&4 are connected by packs
2 cylinders per pack
