Default Misfire in cylinder #2!!!

I just checked my codes, and this is what came up:

16684 Random/Multiple cylinder misfire
16686 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
17708 Combustion Misfire: Reason, Low fuel level

Basically when i WOT it in 3rd the car boosts fine, but there's a puttering sound and the car just surges. So What exactly could be causing this problem??? I recently installed a K04, but did not change my spark plugs, so i'm hoping it's something as simple as that. I'm about to go sway the plugs from cylinder 1 into #2 to see if that changes where the misfire is coming from. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

swap plugs. If the code doesn't jump cylinders swap coil packs. If the code still doesn't jump cylinders it is probably the ignition amplifier. Small little device on top of the air box. Common problem on ndbw.
