I'm assuming you have the 2.2 Ecotec engine, for they have teh spark plugs hidden under the plastic cap on the engine's valve cover. The plastic cap which should say "2.2 Ecotec" can be removed with 10mm socket, and the valve cover (In case you didn't already know) if the aluminum top piece of the engine. They are a little ways down, so be careful not to cross thread the plug.

this indicates misfire on cyl 2. check for spark at the plug if you haven`t changed the plugs for a while check and replace. check the plug wire for spark as it could be bad and need replacing, replace all wires at the same time. if you have spark at the wire by the plug then the ignition coil pack is good. if not you will have to eliminate the wire as the problem or the coil pack. it could also be a bad or plugged fuel injector.
