All you need is a competent M96 Indie. Others will waste your money probably.
Just ask here for referrals to your zip in NJ - problem solved, no crusher required :-)
The qualifying question for a potential mechanic is "Do you have PIWIS" . If he says no but I use Dirametric - O.K. Most other replies are an immediate disqualify because he will be unable to pin point the problem and will waste expensive diagnostic time &/or start guessing/throwing needless parts on.For example -relevant to your problem - a generic obd2 tester won't reveal excessive Deviation degrees. IF that is causing the Misfire on Bank 2 , you may have(hypothetically) failing chain ramps/tensioner and be close to a catastrophic failure. The fix is straightforward now but later.......Just imho
