Default Misfire? No codes!

In my mother's X-Type, while driving up to Indiana, My dad and myself noticed somewhat of a "sputter" or "misfire" type feeling while excelerating(not from 0 mph). I'm watching the gauges and NOTHING! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?!?
My mom keeps asking questions and she is driving us crazy because we dont know what to tell her haha

please help

Have a fuel pressure test done, before you throw codes. Usually no code is a fuel problem starting. Codes will be thrown on lean-out or over rich. Also, when was the fuel filter last changed?

Check the fuel rail pressure. If low by a little, then replace the fuel filter and see what you have then. If still low, then ods are you have a fuel pump starting to go. You have a little bit of time, but it will be failing on you in the near future.
