If Rick want to try swapping injectors, I have 4 of them sitting in a sandwich bag in my garage he can try before buying more parts.

Had to replace the fuel injector.

Way to test it to see if it is the injector, pull the injector and move it to a different cylinder. See if the code follows it. Takes maybe 20 minutes to pull the fuel rail and swap the #2 cylinder injector to a different cylinder.

Same can be done with the coil pack for the cylinder misfiring.

Since both the coil pack and fuel injector are somewhat expensive, find out which it is before starting to replace parts.
Same for me. I got a CEL and it ended up being my injectors as well (this was with 30k on the car mind you) so they got replaced. This was after I had the head redone as they thought it was a bent valve.

The misfire codes can be a few things unfortunately, and none of them are cheap fixes.

just make sure you get all of the fluffernutter off of them before you use them.

My guess it was a P302 code.....
