Cylinder mis-fire

I have a 2001 galant. I took my car to autozone to get it scaned when the check engine light came on. The read out said it was a mis-fire in cylinder 2. What could be causing this and how would I go about fixing it?

does your car shake when it is picking up slow speed? Do you hear like a boom from the exahust when you are in the driver seat reving the engine? try taking a look at your engine mounts, plugs, timing.

could ba a faulty plug wires or wire/wires connection ( wrong connection. ) or faulty spark plug / miss-gap plugs. and maybe the timing is off...
