Hey guy's, just bought a 2004 Outlander, it came with a P0302 code, bought a new coil, new spark plugs, still has a misfire on #2 what next?

 

compression?

I pasted this out of a search, (from an Acura forum), but seems to be what I remember from school.

"Remove your spark plugs, but only on a cold engine in case you have aluminum heads.
Attach the compression guage to each cylinder. Have someone crank the engine until you get the highest reading on the guage. Once you do, stop cranking the engine and write down the highest reading. Then keep an eye on the guage. It should hold steady. If it slowly drops, then you have a leak in that cylinder. If you have 2 cylinders side by side where the compression slowing drops, then chances are it's a blown head gasket which could allow oil or engine coolant to spill over into your cylinder.
If you have just one cylinder that is low or the compression drops, squirt some oil in that cylinder and run a compression check on that cylinder again. If the compression goes up, then your problem is your rings. The oil temporarily seals around the rings which raises your compression. If it continues to slowly drop, then your problem could be your valve guides being worn which could allow oil to seep into your cylinder. "[/I][/I]

 

Just got this code on my 2010 Outlander XLS 3.0L V6 AWD

It hasn't happened since - but I'll be keeping an eye on it.
