Misfire, not plugs or coilpack that I can tell
#11
Out of nowhere it started missing, limped it home and ran a diagnostic test on it. Ran a p0303 code (missing in cylinder 2)
Started going about it the cheap way, I replaced all the spark plugs. And also switched the coil pack on cylinder 2 with the one in cylinder 3, hoping that if the problem continued that when i did another diagnostic test, it would miss in cylinder 3 and i would know that the coil pack is bad.
Put everything back together, started the car, and the car was still missing. Ran the car a little, ran the diagnostic and it still says im missing in cylinder 2.
Now im frustrated and dont know what to do next. Maybe the wire that connects to the coil pack is bad...

Looks like it's a bad iginition module (power output stage)
Cool, swapped the cables on top of the airbox and the bad cylinder moved from #5 to #2. Should be easy to fix now. Thanks Massboykie and Wisconsin_quat for the help!!

Got my cylinder back.
The controller was the problem. Probably the fastest fix and easiest to get to part on the car...just took a while to figure it out. Thanks all for the input.
