    I take it you also replaced the HT leads too, my money is on them being the culprit if you haven't.

    If it's been misfiring for a while with a bad coil-pack it can damage the PCM module so I'd be careful driving it.

    Maybe try a compression test, worth seeing what it's like considering it's isolated to cylinder 2. Could swap the wires around and see if the fault moves to another cylinder.

    I also agree with Luke about leads.  I'd have changed them before the coil pack.
