Be patient, reliable sources here say not all miss fires will thro a code, like its hard to detect or something Am a nuts and bolts guy versus the computor guru, if responses don't favor your liking, suggest trying the search heading, real good info there.

My 2000 F150 4.6 does the same thing. first the CEL came on and It said 1 and 2 mis fire so I replaced the plugs it ran good for a few weeks and then decided to act up again this time no codes. I replaced the injectors and coil packs at the same time.. Still no CEL but runs like Hyundai
