the ICM is the flat piece on top of the air box with an electrical plug on each side. I think the only way to check it is to swap it with a known good one.

However, usually when that goes bad, you have multiple random misfires, not just one cylinder.

How old are your spark plugs, that could be an issue too. Get some new ones, they're cheap, and gap t0 .032 if you're stock, .028 if you're chipped.

Had the codes read and is misfiring in cylinder 2 again maybe it's the wires or boot on the plug?? I'm leaking colant I'm worried it might be leaking into the cylinder causing the misfire but I'm a noob and don't kno I've parked the car and won't drive it till I figure it out. Thanks for all you're help guys
