Opps, misread the code. Sorry


OP - front cylinder, drivers side if LHD

Late Catera is DBW iirc, might be a precursor to failing camcovers, unlikely to be water ingress, as that normally affects cylinders 5 and 6 first...

Also possible, if the mileage is below 100k, that plugs have never been changed

Looking at car from the front.
Left hand is 1,3,5,
right hand is 2,4,6

if i was referring to a vetra,i would have said, your just being pedantic,and picking fault as usual.

Doesn't help that OPs car is a left hooker

Caterra was drive by wire and coil pack (hence why the cylinder heads had tapped holes from 98 onwards).

But yes, cylinder two is the one nearest the oil dipstick
