It means #2 cyl is missfiring. possible causes are spark plug, spark plug wire, or the injector.

did you wash your engine recently?? you may have water down in the spark plug well. It could be the cap and rotor but if it were you would likely get a multi cyl missfire code P0300

no i suggest you check for water or oil in the spark plug well. If that checks ok pull the plug and inspect it. if it looks ok break out the ohm meter and check your resistance on your plug wire. if it checks ok check the resistance of the injector. You could just slap parts on it if you find that easier. But the injector might cost ya. I really dont think cleaner would resolve a problem severe enough to throw a code.
