Default bad news...

so...cylinder 2 is fubarred!! i'm so pissed. i was on my way home yesterday from out of town, and my car started missing really bad. i made it home and drove it to work this morning. since i work at a dealership, i got one of the techs to read the code it was throwing. it said misfire on cylinder 2 & 4. pull out the coil and there is black powder **** all over it. try to take out the plug and it doesnt come out! finally one part of it comes out but the rest is stuck. with a magnet and a pair of long-nose needle head pliers, it is finally taken out. the plug looks fine but the cylinder looks like dookie. so looks like head work is in the future. yay! (sarcastic) just thought i would share my unfortunate news!! there goes my wheel money!!

maybe it was just a bad spark plug and nothing is wrong with any of your cylinders. Did you get a compression and leak down test?
