I had this problem fixed by mechaninc. It turns out, the plugs were floating in water. This ruined the plugs and contaminated the whole area. They replaced my wires and I had already replaced the plugs. The corrosion in the block was causing the issue.

Today, I got a P0302 indicating the #2 misfire. I popped open the plugs wires and voila.... full of water.

I had to remove the top pan to get enough access to soak up all the water. I put it all back together and the engine is still sputtering. Misfire on #2. I'll bring it in tomorrow again so they can clean it all out again.

Watch for water/moisture in the plug areas.... no way to drain it.
