Default ANy ideas what this could be? rough idle as if missing a cylinder

Last night did some spirited runs. Parked the car came back an hour later started the car, idle was rough and car was missing and rpm not moving fast as if I was missing a cylinder or two. No check engine light. restarted the car, all back to normal.
Thinking spark plugs fouled maybe... Other ideas?

A fouled plug will not repair itself with a re-start.

Correct but he will find out soon enough when the code hits.

It is hard to figure out an intermittent problem without any clues. Maybe you have a loose electrical connection to an injector or a spark igniter.

If the check engine light came on then DTC will have been logged. If you have SDD you could try retrieving the DTC anyway, to see if anything interesting was logged in the past.

It may have a pending code - worth looking with a suitable OBD tool.

Also check fuel trims.

Banana in the tailpipe from the disgruntled driver you cut-off on your "spirited run"
You probably dont even remember passing him.
