Misfire
How is the car running?
if there has been no noticeable change in how it runs or idles then I would clear the code and see if it comes back.
if it comes back then it is either spark or fuel. Which means, injector, coil pack, or plug. Coil pack being the most common of the three.
Since your ECU is giving you a code with the exact cylinder misfire you can do an easy diagnosis. If the code comes back as cylinder #2 again, then switch that #2 coil pack with either #4 or #6 and clear the codes. See if that misfire comes back in the cylinder in which the suspect coil has been moved. If it does then it is most likey the coil pack. If not then you can go from there.
