Default Car seems to misfire

My car seems to misfire (not always, just sometimes) while driving and its really annoying.I had a check engine light before but that was for a cracked boot and that has been repaired. Now I have no check engine light and I have no codes after reading through a scanner. Any good ideas of what it could be?

well, if you could clarify as to what your car is, mileage, mods, etc that would really help out

Sorry.

2001 Mustang GT Auto
No mods (well 1 if you consider a K&N air filter)
Around 78000 mi
Oil change around 1500 mi ago
Just changed all the plugs around 6000 mi ago and had no issues since except for that check engine light (which was caused by the boot being cracked)
Did recently clean my engine (that caused the boot failure)

No, I did not use a hose (used a water bottle actually) and I tried my best to keep water off the alt and the battery.

Also, wouldn't the CEL come on if there were any issues?
