I was looking at an obd scanner for smart phone. The car starts at any given time no problems there

I been through this, if no engine light is on check your crank sensor. Look and see if it can get a good read off the harmonic balancer. It was make your car firing weak, just did it about a month ago. Took the harmonic balancer off clean good wear the crank sensor read, replace the sensor just because. And he haven't had that problem since then. Oil leak on it and dirt build up in there an it can't get a full reading, the ecm sometime don't pick it up until the car go all the down. Then give a lot of codes, that will give you a headache

Also could be the cat converter going bad if the crank sensor does not solve the problem. Same symptoms apply.
