First of all change the spark plugs and cables if it keeps doing it take it to pepboys or your dealer so they can chek it with the computer cuz it also may be a misfire cylinder issue
if u have stock engine and u buy best NGK spark plugs would u have a problem because after i put new best NGK spark plugs i can buy for my car 98 dodge avenger it ran perfect for a few days and i went outside to tint my windows i left the car on.. it was not idleing but completely on.. and had my door open.. turned the car off.. came back about 1 hour later and my car cranks.. but will not turn on? anyone know what the problem is.. i also put 98 octain fuel in it?
My car is doing this too, I changed the coil packs and this started. I might have a bad one out of the box. I can tell it is electrical because the fuel pump tone changes like when I have my blinkers on or something. Might be a bad injector on mine but the fact it started after replacing the coils tells me it is probably a defective new coil.
@megatrends PS - tested ohm resistance for my injectors and they were all good and my fuel gauge says I don;t have a leaky injector. My car does this when warmed up a bit which also tells me coil problem.

@313timmyb I had a bad coil pack,swapped out the bad one and never again had this happen. I am not sure if a Audi A3 has coil packs but if not,try changing your spark plugs and spark plug wires.
Okay i had this issue about a week ago, caused sputtering when i accelerated too, it was the spark plug WIRES, cost about 120 for a full set but is is easy to replace, car runs great now though! adn it looks as if we have the same car, i have a 2000 aud a6, 2.8

@portycrasher Turns out,it was a bad igntion coil,i took it to my local Audi stealership and had all 4 of the ignition coils replaced for free,being there was a recall on the coils. ^_^
