Hard to get 2000 miles without money for gas...
Assuming you can do some diagnosis, you can narrow it down to coil pack/spark plug/beyond. Diagnose by swapping plugs/coil packs into different cylinders to see if the code follows. If it’s plugs, they’re like $9 each, just replace them. Don’t bother with coil packs; they’re a little more expensive. Either way, it *should* get there without much of a problem.

easy item to check. check your coolant overflow reservoir.
If empty, you might be having a leaking head gasket.
While running, it will push burnt gases to the coolant side and coolant out of the reservoir, but overnight coolant seeps into cylinders and foul plugs, causing some misfires.
I had that issue when my headgasket had a small leak.
