Default Random misfire in cyl. 2

I just threw a check engine light, and I got it checked for free at local auto zone. They said i had a random misfire in cyl. 2 - either plugs, wires, or coils. so um, Im a noob, and my bid said its probably the spark plugs. Has anyone had this happen? i have an 01 B5 -

how much are coils?
how much are wires?

Default has happened MANY times on the forum and is well documented.

play "Musical Coil Packs" i.e. pull all four out and put them in a different order. If that changed the cyl number, then it's a coil pack. Otherwise could be plugs, could be ICU.

I had it and it was only 1 Coilpack. $23 fix.

Good Luck.
