Random hard misfire no cel hooked up my scanner to look at on board live test to look for misfires and of course cant get it to miss when I need it to anyone else having similar issues.
I had plugs replaced approximately 6000 miles ago and tried getting fuel from Multiple different places thinking fuel was the cause.

Well could be a coil, could be an injector. Tough to tell if it doesn't happen again or store a code.

What brand spark plugs and did you check the gap?

Weird you would have no codes but if no check engine light, they have not reached a severe enough count. For my 2001, I have a Scangauge 2 with X gauge setup for mode 6 misfires and they get trapped no matter how subtle. the mode 6 counts seldom give a check engine light, or codes, even when they can be felt.

Maybe check for any kind of fluid pooling on or around the coils and plug wells. I used to have a 2010 EB with 142k on it and a leaky coolant line is what started my misfire problem. It was sporadic at first then the line blew out and dumped a heavy dose of coolant onto the motor. I only had the coolant lines replaced, but I should have had the coils and plugs done at the same time. I didn’t want to put out the money to cover everything at once so I waited. Bad decision on my part. That led to a nightmare ride home from a fishing trip with half the engine cutting out on me if I didn’t accelerate slowly. Unfortunately even after getting new plugs n coils it never ran right again. I don’t know if it’s just coincidence or not but shortly after that I took it back to the shop and the diagnosis was I needed a timing job. I couldn’t justify it so I traded it in for a 2016.
