Need help code p0302

Recently check codes cause car was misfiring and code P0302 came up, so the followinf things were done on the car

change spark plugs
change fuel filter
switch coil between coil 2 and 1 reset ecu code p0302 same code came up after 5 minutes run car still misfiring
move back the coils and the switch between coil 2 and 3 reset ecu and same code came up after 5 minute run car still misfiring

so far all i can think of is either the #2 injector is bad or maybe fuel pump but to my understanding if fuel pump was bad it misfires and probably all cylinders shows as misfiring

take in consideration this car was taken to 4 different places and all of them have different opinions from bad spark plugs wires(spark plugs wires omg ) to a bad engine that was offered to repair for $3000(yeah right just wait there, i be back)

I'm pretty sure is a bad injector just wanted your opinions

since u stated u change between coil 1 and 2 and still same code 5 mins later, 100% its ur injector cuz a bad fule pump wouldnt just show 1 injector going bad, my suggestion try the ez way first replace injector 2 and go from there.

How exactly did you swap coils from cylinders 1 and 2? Completely different style and size of coils.

Did you test the injector? Don't replace it before you test, that's just an idiotic way of throwing parts at the problem.

coils were switched between the one the middle and the ones on the sides i didn't do it personally cause this is my ex-wife's car who live in Ohio I'm in Florida,so i was trying to figure out what is wrong that way, i told her to take car to a mechanic but since none of the idiots seems to give a trustworthy diagnose i told a friend to do all the things mentioned above but he tried to "hear" the injector but could not distinguish if is working or not and since most everything else is done what else could be?


and maybe is and idiotic way to throw parts at the problem but sure is better than replacing the plug wires
