Is my engine missing?

99 7.3 208k. This only happens when its cold but ill be driving along and the rmps will drop a bit, the sound changes, press the gas pedal a little bit and it goes back to normal.

While this is happening you can also hear sort of a hissing sound. Kind of like what the exhaust makes when the truck is idling cold.

Does this sound like a miss? Where should I look?

The only code its currently throwing is P0603 but I have not recently unplugged my PCM or disconnected my batteries. I cleared the code, let it sit overnight unplugged. Started truck, it romped and bucked. The code came back.

If it only happens cold its probably the EBPV closing and its normal if really cold. Unplug it and see if it still happens.
