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!

Default Coil pack...

...check it by moving the coil pack to cylinder one and monitor blocks 15 and 16 (it may be 14 and 15 if I didn't remember correctly).

If you see the misfire in Cylinder 1, you found your culprit.

Default pull the spark plug connector out of the coil and move it around too...

just in case it is that and not the coil itself. If you check it, ou should read 2kohms, and no crack in its housing.
