P0302 Misfire number 2 cylinder

One cylinder misfire will not cause the engine to shut down and not be able to restart until several hours, When a sensor heats up it resistance changes, 2 thingt that can cause this a crank sensor or a cam sensor. To access either one , it is in the timing belt area.These should be sought out as possible cause for the engine to shut down. and it may be possible that a failing camsensor can be unable to synchronize properly causing a misfire code.
