If it didn't set a check engine light, and it's running fine now, then I would suspect water in fuel.

I had the same problem. One cylinder stops firing until you shut it off and on. It was a problem with the fuel injector harness in the head. I think it had a code stored but no check engine. I pulled the connectors and bent the injector side very slightly in the shape of a v and put them back on and never had trouble again. A new harness would be the best solution and can be bought on its own.

you think it would be fine to keep driving it for now because i haven't had the problem since yesterday and it has been driven for about 2 hours today
