When I have a misfire, first thread I'd read is jfoj's (see his sig), and also, search for 'engine shaking when cold' maybe even in the thread title "shaking cold" something like that.

Disconnect your maf for fun. If it runs better, it's either maf or an intake leak.

Clean maf. If you have AM oiled filter, go back to plain paper filter is my advice. Look for leaks...use a hose as stethoscope...sometimes you can hear them.

HTH

Okay, don't take advice from someone who might know more than you. Don't ask questions if you want to formulate your own answer. Is your CEL still on?

I would do the sparkplugs if they have never been done.

If it was coming up as a misfire, do the basics, and check plugs and wires. Possibly a short in the wire to #2 causing it, which has since shaken itself back to shape causing it to stop shaking. But you have the code of what caused it, so start diagnosing from there.

Try swap the coil #2 with another coil and see if the problem follows the coil you swapped.

It was a one-time event and hasn't happened since, so until it does, call this your 'lucky days.' You'll get a few of them with your car.

Start reading up and making sure you're up on the basics. Plugs, yes...at 100K miles...and coil boots (you don't need coils).

Air filter, fuel filter, Techron in the tank. Vacuum out air box for me please, and clear the drains by your hood plungers.

Get you know your car better by reading this forum and not OT so much (if you do)!

A single misfire could just as likely be you being in too low a gear giving it lots of gas going up a hill. If it returns, get codes read again...but take care of the basics leisurely while you have time. Right now, I'm sensing that you have 29 days to at least wash it.

Techron.

Also, you're not Fern Green, are you? If so, disregard what I said!
