1997 145k V6 4Runner Cylinder #2 problem

[jon c]

Hello, while driving around 35mph, noticed a sudden shake from the front end with a loss of go power. Slowly drove it to a Local mechanic who said it was a bad coil pack as cylinder #2 was misfiring badly, but should put new spark plugs and wires on first for cost purposes. While changing plugs/wires, he switched the 3 coils around and continued to find same problem of misfiring from cylinder #2. New wires and plugs have not helped at all, so much for his help. Any guess to what might be going on and treatment options? Thank you.

Plugged injector? Clean them.
