Misfiring on hard acceleration
Hey everyone,
I have been googling around and cant seem to find an answer for my specific audi. When I accelerate (Not even wide open) in usually 4th and 5th gear, the car stutters and I get the blinking CEL light meaning a misfire. Once I let off it goes away. What is most likely the cause for this? Anywhere to start looking? If there is any other info I can provide please let me know.
Thank you.

Check your spark plugs, gap to .028. If it's been awhile, they need to be replaced. Scan for codes using a generic scanner (or have auto zone do it) and figure out which cylinder is misfiring. Swap coil packs around and see if the misfire follows If it does, that coil pack is bad.

Broken Vacuum Line
Check the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator
