Scan for codes and check fuel pressure first. Then check for a vacuum leak. Also check for hoses with holes in them soft etc. Make sure the duct work ging to throttle body has no holes in it.

302 is a missfire code for cylinder 2. It could be a plug, wire, coil, injector, vacuum leak or low compression. All these need to be checked to find the failure.

Based on the symptoms, the code and what this vehicle is I would suspect an intake leak when cold. Sometimes they only leak when cold then swell and seal up when warm.I would suggest that you take it and have a smoke test done by a shop.
