My vehicle has p0302 code equates to leakage on bank 2.
Its not spark plugs its not the coil pack its not the fuel system either.
Does it sound like a head gasket? It also could be such a small part.

Cylinder #2 misfire detected. What year is your Cruze? Any smoke out the tailpipe under load? Check your oil. My 2011 had 2 different scenarios where I had misfires. I checked compression & the misfire cylinder had 85-100 psi when it's supposed to have 200. Cracked pistons in both scenarios.

How many miles on your Cruze? If under 100,000 miles (160,000 KM) it's covered under the power train warranty. You may need to find a different dealership however - one that's willing to look at the car first thing in the morning. You'll need to leave it overnight for them to diagnose the problem.

It does carbon When under.load which is bad.
I have gone to gm dealer and they put me on the spot asked me where I service and need receipts I've only had the car for 1 year and a bit. I told them I do it myself I use amsoil they then denied my claim. I am with talks to gm about wtf is going on.

When I took my car in, they asked who diagnosed low compression, low oil, etc & I told them I did & I do all the maintenance. They didn't hesitate to help me out. Possibily BC once they did their own diagnosis, they confirmed what I said. Not sure if Amsoil is Dexos 1 approved...that could be an issue. They never asked for receipts from me, but I do keep all receipts and records of maintenance work just in case.
