Look under the dash in behind the radio on the passengers side. You should see a plug with about 8 or so pins. Its right along the edge of the dash.
Additionally check the sticker on the drivers door frame or under the hood.

If you live in North America the car will definitely be OBD2.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Misfires can be an elusive animal. Easiest start of course is to change the spark plug. After that checking then cleaning the injector would probably be next.
