My misfire problem ended up as a bad fuel injector.
Even sending it out to be cleaned (sent all 4), did no good.
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.

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

Thanks for the suggestions. I said ignitor, I may have meant injector....I also might not have relayed info correctly, I'm a girl. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I don't believe there were any other codes in addition to the misfire, and I don't know the actual code #. Rick might.
