I haev a 96 SL2 with a P0302 code showing. I've changed the plugs, wires and coil pack but it is still missing badly. I can't afford the $100.00 to have someone analyze it and need help deperatly. Any ideas out there? Thanks

Take some carb cleaner and spray it around the intake manifold at that cylinder (cyl #2) while it is running and see if it cahnges the idle, intake leak is my first hunch.

You can try swapping the indectors with the 2 and any other cylinder to see if the miss moves and would verify the injector.
