Q: What does code P02A0 mean?

Cylinder 2 - Injector Restricted. P02A0 indicates that the engine control module has detected an abnormal restriction in the fuel injector for cylinder number two, typically by monitoring electrical current or fuel trim deviations. The computer sees that the injector is not delivering the expected amount of fuel, which can cause a lean condition in that cylinder.
