My 2006 non zO6 car developed a multiple cylinder misfire while sitting at a traffic light. Just like someone flipped a switch. Car has 32k miles, A6 trans and a tune, no other mods. Engine is running very rich on fuel, disconnected battery but that did not help. Scanner only shows multiple cylinder misfire. Does not smooth out with rpm. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You need to get a scanner to read your DTCs. Thats the BEST way to figure out whats going on.. Otherwise,,,,,,, you will get 10000 guesses and that spells $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Read and post your DTCs

I'm guessing a vacuum leak somewhere.
