Error codes question.

Ok if the SES light comes on and one of the codes thrown is misfire on cyl. 2, how reliable is it to say that cyl. 2 is definitely the problem. In my case I have 3 misfires on cyl. 2, 2 bad cat. codes, and one bad coil pack code.

So what I'm wonderingis, is it accurate enough that buying a new coil pack for cyl. 2 should fix the problem (I've allready eliminated unusually cold weather and spark plugs, so I'm pretty sure its a coil pack)?

I would say that you are pretty safe in assuming that. When my #6 coil went out I had a misfire on the #6 cyl.
