Had a coil go with similar symptoms not long ago... usually they either go bad quickly but I've seen a few go intermittent like that... were you driving in rain by any chance? Should spit a code P0300-P0305 if its a misfire caused by a coil.

No not in the rain. The car has felt a little off in the sense that it may have misfired this week but the exhaust I have can make it a little confusing as it pops and grunts and not sure of it was a misfire or the exhaust. Then this happens. I will post up the codes as soon as I get the durametric tool which will hopefully be sometime this week. I hope it is nothing catastrophic or major and something I can diy
