Default Misfire on 2nd Cylinder from front of engine

Okay after starting up the car, it runs fine for about 1 minute. Then I think the 2nd cylinder is misfiring. I ran carsoft codes, but my descriptions aren't coming up. So the codes that come up are 93, 190, and 194. I know a cylinder is misfiring because the CEL is both on and blinked/flashed. Yesterday, I checked all the plugs and the 2nd plug had condensation on it and inside the plug boot. There was some oil on the outside of the plug with the condensation, but there was NO oil on the area of the plug that goes inside the head. I blew out the plug wire boot and cleaned off the ceramic area of the spark plug and reassembled. The car cranked, idled and drove fine without any misses. However, this morning, I got in the car, cranked it and let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Then I jumped in the car and as soon as I backed out of the driveway it started missing again and the CEL flashed. I pulled back in the driveway, pulled the boot off the 2nd plug, and there is some slight condensation on the boot. But there is no oil on the plug. The plug however seems fouled and there are a couple burn marks on the plug (probably arcing from the boot due to the condensation). Any ideas on what I need to do here?
