Premature to ask, since I will change plugs and try taking off coil on #2 cylinder, but my problem is that I had my engine cleaned (6 years of burning man playa dust mucking it all up) and 3 days after the clean, I started throwing the P0302 as the engine was running rough.
I'm just curious, since the high pressure hot water cleaning could have rocked something loose altho I have looked and can find no loose connections.
The timing of the issue coincides with the cleaning so I'm wondering if there could be anything on the outside that the cleaning could effect in this way.

Prior to this issue, the car has never had a single mechanical problem.

Most likely you have water trapped in the spark plug well
I would do a tune up for sure
mark the coil on # 2 and remove to a different cylinder
clear codes
