Intermittent P0302 Code w/ bogging
So, been racking my brain, scouring google-fu (which I admit is poor) and here... I can't seem to find my specific problem.
I have a stock n/a motor with SCT tune from BAMA (91 octane). The car has been running fine for a long time.
Coming up on the 60k miles mark, I decided to run some Lucas Fuel System Cleaner through the tank.
Literally minutes after the fillup/additive, the car tossed a code (P0302, P0316).
The car intermittently has the misfire on cyl 2 (0302) and since clearing, the 0316 (misfire within first 1000 revs) hasn't returned.
Sometimes I run down the road and get the miss, and hence bog, in all gears, sometimes it doesnt.
I am trying to avoid changing the plugs if possible, as I plan on getting FI in the summer and would be getting new plugs there as well.
I am now on the 3rd tank of gas. Normally I get 92 Octane, but I went and spent the extra $ on some 93 octane to see if it was just bad gas, and so far, it has repeated itself with 2 tanks (just filled up again and drove to work, didnt get a miss on the way to work ~60 miles, but I work for 48hrs straight so I havent been able to drive it since).
Next on my list is stopping at advanced auto on the way hom and getting some cleaner for the MAF/TB (Carb cleaner work for that? Or something else recomended?)
I have the black COPS.
Anyone else have any ideas what it might be?
Thanks.

If you're having a miss fire, a tune up is definitely the first place I would look. Spark plugs and wires is a good start! If it's not all that bad and you're going FI in a few weeks anyway, you can try and ride it out to save a few bucks. You could also try and just replace the spark plug on the cylinder that's miss firing, that's perfectly fine!
