P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected

My car is a 1996 C280 with 117K miles on it. Recently I have been getting a Cylinder 2 Misfire. I just replaced all 3 spark plugs but from my understanding Cylinder 2 uses a coil pack. How hard is that to change and should this be my first route or should I try something else.

Unrelated Stuff:

Had a freon leak which has been fixed
Water pump was replaced about 3 months ago

THANKS

Well, you have got the job 1/2 done .. now go change the other 3 plugs..

Then change the plug connector boots under each coil and you should be all set..

They are under the coils .. just pull the coils straight up..

You are a novice so we can beat you up...then when you know , you can beat up the next guy..

Good "How To Do "article , but it does not adress the important part for your skip code.
.and that is , on 104 waste spark ignitions, use ONLY Bosch F8DC4 Copper plugs and change the 3 plug connectors under the coils .both common 104 misfire code remedies.

Do a serch on 103 plugs .. plenty of testimony in the archiebes.
