my 98 2.2 did the same thing i swapped out the spark wires and the plugs and it hasn't done it since. try that, it might work.

It wont set a Check Engine Light unless the misfire is bad enough to damage the cat.
I would look into problems with your secondary ignition system regarding the misfire.

i have put new plugs and wires on last year or 12000 miles ago and it feels like it has lost some power in the last few weeks and seeing as i dont have much to begin with i think im in trouble. it drives fine it just doesnt idle right
