    I have a 1996 3.4 Tacoma. Recently its had a occasional( like once every couple days) misfiring cylinder. After about a week my check engine light came on and threw a code for cylinder 2 misfire. So I changed my spark plugs and wires and swapped coil packs around and tested all my fuses and relays And I still seem to have a problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be my problem?

    ^ what he said. Did it move, or stay on #2?

    What did the removed plugs look like. Especially #2 if the miss stayed there.
