Default misfire question

First - stuttering under hard acceleration accompanied by a flashing CEL is a misfire correct?

Second: I guess ill replace the coilpacks. Should I replace the plugs as well? I currently have BKE6E ( i think ) gapped to .32. The car is chipped.

Which plugs should i be using?

Also, i'm going to call Audi to see if i fall under the recall

.032 is stock. You should gap them to .028 if you're chipped.

Vag or just scan your ecu first to see which cylinder(s) are misfiring.

Many people would also recommend going with a plug one heat range colder when getting chipped as well (BKR6E is the normal heat range). When I chipped my car I ran BKR7E plugs with 0.028" gap.

Just to make sure, the plugs are NGK BKR7E, so you don't order the wrong ones.
