2 cylinder misfire

This all just started yesterday and I need help finding out what problem I should start with first. When I accelerate I can feel the misfires. The service engine light with just blink. This morning when I was leaving for work it started again as soon as I put it in drive. If I go above 40 MPG it starts doing it. The service engine light has come on and stayed on. I got the code P0302 and need to know where to start to fix this problem.

Change out the spark plug in #2.

I recommend ensuring the car is shut off. Take the coilpack from #2 and swap with another coilpack. Clear the codes then start the car up and see if the problem stays the same or follows the coilpack. This will determine if it is the plug or the coilpack. You don't want to change the plugs unless you need to. Coilpacks are easy to change and move if needed.

^ Do what he said. Check your plugs. If they look good, change coil 2 with coil 4. Reset codes and If you get P0304 it means your coil is gone.
