Have you scanned for codes anyway? If the CEL came on and then went out without you noticing there should be a code stored. Or maybe the bulb for the CEL is out. Does it come on when you first turn the key on?

The CEL was on but after a basic change of plugs and wires it corrected the random misfire code that it was showing but the car still isn't right. It's as if the throdel is hesitating even when u work the throttle from under the hood. Idk what's wrong so I just dropped it off at the dealer this morning giving up and letting a pro look at it.
