#2 CYL Misfire P0302 (Fixed)

[AllAmer1719]

Nothing worse than being 7 hours away from home with little tools and time constraints. Fortunately was able to make back home.

Felt engine running rough and made it down the street about a mile before CEL came on. Always keep code reader in truck if anyone or myself need. Latched code P0302. So I change the plugs as that will be quick. I am past due plug change since im at 125k miles according to OEM. No change in issue.

Swap Ignition coil. No change. Ran two cans of Berrymans injector cleaner on the way home. Still present after 7 hours drive.

Swapped Fuel Injector on same rail. Issue cleared.

I had planned on changing the Fuel Injector Before swapping but Wife wanted to make sure that was the issue. Most local part stores other than dealer dont carry it, you have to special order. It was Sunday so dealer part centers werent open.

Nonetheless, wanted to share experience with others who may come across this issue. I thought maybe I had bad gas from station on the way to Florida.

Were you able to remove the fuel rail? I removed the fasteners that I could find on the right bank (only 2 of them) because my issue is primarily on #6 and some on #8. After removing the two fasteners I could even get the rail to wiggle so I assume that I missed a fastener somewhere.
If you were able to remove it please provide whatever info you can so that I can figure out how to get it off and swap the injectors to other cylinders on that same side.
