I'd have to experience that thrill to give you a true heads up. I'd be leaning towards spark if it feels like the car is pausing to take a breath, and then catching back up with itself...but no codes...hmmmm...

The cam sensor and crank sensor seldom set a code, both of these are spark, but spark originates at the ignition switch...and your turning the car off, and then back on seems to solve the problem for a bit...does your key feel really solid in the ignition, or can you wiggle it back and forth a bit? It'd be really odd if it were that, but this is the direction that I would be leaning in (sight unseen).

How about a transmission code? Does the arrow ever flash?

Truly, I have no real idea or clue, but I'm fairly certain that coil packs are not the culprit. They cause misfire codes, and uneven idling and running. You have none of that...
