Occasional Misfires

Hey everyone. The other day I was driving home and I felt a pretty obvious misfire. I thought it was strange but I kept going... no other problems. Than, accelerating in 4th gear, I felt another one yesterday. Today, I felt one while I was takin off, but it's always just one. The car had 133k miles, and I'm not sure if this could be spark plugs or coils or what. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance. Oh, and no check engine light btw.

You could still have a pending check engine code

We can't diagnose your car with that info.

Kinda sounds like you just to do general maintenance.

Does it kind of buck a bit? My '10 2.2 LAP did that, no engine light. Light actually came on as I pulled into the dealership. It was the throttle position sensor. It idled low and shook as bit as well. Once I had that TPS swapped out, all was well

Actually, it does but again only occasionally. 90% of the time it runs like a top, but then every once in a while it has kind of a low idle. I never really realized or thought about that until you actually said that. But most of the time when it does this it is either cold out or snowing.
