Misfiring after a hard pull

So I was in comfort mode mode and found a Long stretch of clear road. From stand still I floored the car, upon coming to a light. When I stopped the car, it started misfiring and the engine light started to blink for about 15 seconds before the light went off when I drove off. Drove a good 5km back home and the car felt normal. I just changed my starter and plugs a month back, what could the possibility be?

Without stating the obvious, as the EML is on, you could visit Audi or a garage with the appropriate diagnostic equipment to read the fault codes. But there will be a cost implication, which is usually waivered if they do the work.
Alternatively, you could contact the AA or RAC if you are a member - they should be able to read the codes for you and report on their findings. DONT LET THEM RESET THE CODES if you are going to take it to a garage, whether an inde or Audi, as they will probably be reluctant resolve the fault without reading the codes to verify the exact fault for themselves.
If doing it yourself, it should point you in the right direction.
Been there - got the t shirt.......
