    So my check engine light came on this evening as I was pulling out of the office. I did a scan with my OBD 2 and caught this error code "P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire". Any idea what this is and how serious is it?

    Could be serious. Probably isn't. Fouled spark plug, faulty ignition coil, or faulty fuel injector are the first places to look.

    since you don't know much about cars, take it to a mechanic. tell him to clean EGR and all the piping (including intake manifold) and check/replace the spark plugs.
