Car started and was clearly running on 3 cylinders with the Check Engine Light on. I read the codes and got a P0302 and P0352 which indicated a problem with the #2 cylinder misfiring. I pulled the spark plug and it is pretty dirty and has deposits. The car has 21,000 miles on it and is less than two years old. I cleaned the plug and reinstalled. I pulled the other plugs and they looked almost the same. This will be going to the dealership for warranty service and root cause analysis.
