Code P0302
I have a DTC P0302 (misfire cylinder 2). I have replaced the plugs and plug wires and still have this code. Could the likely culprit be a bad coil pack? If so, would I have to replace both coil packs?

Fuel system cleaner
Just wanted to get a few opinions on which would work better at cleaning fuel injectors. Fuel system cleaner or specifically fuel injector cleaner? Thanks in advance.

Code P0401
I have a code of p0401 (insufficient egr flow). Should I replace the egr valve or the DPFE sensor first? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.
