No codes at all?
You may want to check the coil, it'll do all sorts of weird things when it's
about to die. When my coil failed, it'd cause all sorts of misfiring or it
would shut the truck off. It eventually set a code but it took a while. You
may also want to check the HEP, they do go bad from time to time. I had to
replace mine at about 80k.
