Default Would scanning software detect a misfire if there is no trouble code thrown?

I seem to be having an annoying engine miss/backfire, but there has never been a misfire code thrown. I'm probably going to purchase HP Tuners VCM Suite some time soon, and was wondering if the scanning software would be able to show me which cylinder(s) the misfire is occurring in.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.

HPtuners will if you set up the pid for it. You have to enter 8 pids...one for each cylinder.

Would that require MPVI Pro?

Nope, the software is the same for both the standard and pro (and the old serial interface if you have it). There are tons of custom pids that you can add, plus you can make your own.
