Hello, are you getting a code for Cylinder #2 misfire from a scan tool?
If that's the case, what you should do is move the #2 Ignition Coil to a different Cylinder and see if you get still get a misfire code for Cylinder #2 or if it moves to the cylinder that you traded coils with. This is an easy way to rule out an Ignition Coil/Spark plug failure. If the code doesn't move with the Ignition Coil and or spark plug, then it may be a compression issue or a failing Fuel Injector on the #2 Cylinder.
