I'm having the same issue actually. It's my no 2 cylinder misfiring. I have a valve cover leak that is causing the plug to misfire. My solution to this problem is to replace the plugs(again), valve cover gasket, and run a thread chaser for the spark plugs to clean the threads then i should be good.

I was throwing a CEL.

Im running NGK platinums and magnecor 8.5 wires.

I have oil on no 2 spark plug boot.

Hope this helps a little.

Could also be a O2 sensor going bad, as mine is, lol.
