So to start, i have a 2008 S5 with the CAUA 4.2 V8. It has 100k miles and about a month and a 1/2 ago it began getting misfires in cylinders 1 2 and 4, so i went about diagnosing, plugs, coils, etc.. wasn't them so i moved to injectors, pulled off manifold, both fuel rails and replaced the 3 injectors on the problem cylinders, replaced all 8 o rings along with the intake manifold gaskets, and now im still having the same problems.

 

Some back story - Cold starts have gotten noticeably quieter, much slower, sluggish, sounds muffled almost, feels like its running on half the cylinders. If I get the car above 4k rpm a flashing engine light comes on for a few revolutions and then goes back to steady engine light. 

 

ive attached my VCDS scan below.

Could it be the maf sensor, cam sensors or crank sensor? 

im not too sure, i didnt mess with any of the cam or crank sensors, and only messed with the maf sensor by removing and reinstalling the intake pipe

Steve means you need to get it tested. Something has developed a fault that is probably unrelated to your "messing".
