Engine light came on and car started sputtering and had diminished power. Had the engine light read and they gave us a code (don't remember the code, something with cylinder two) changed all spark plugs, cylinder two coil, took it to have an oil change and checked air filter which was fine. It has full power now but still "bounces".

Does it do this “ bouncing” during acceleration? If so you may have another coil faulty. To test this properly you need to have a scanner that will do a power balance test to verify the actual cylinder in question. That’s if this is what you are describing.

It does not do this during acceleration. Even after replacing coil and plugs and the light came back on, the same code was read.
