So, I kept my car in an indoor garage of my house for 2.5 weeks in north jersey while I was on a trip. I come back, start the engine and I hear something like my engine is going to pop out of my car and from what I read on the forum, thought it was the cylinders misfiring. I immediately turned off the car and I am scared at this point, I turn it back on and same thing happens and then the CEL light comes on, then it starts blinking.

I immediately VAG it to see that a cylinder misfired and sporadic misfiring was occuring, thanks to this forum I looked online and found a post about how the fuel pump or some line related to it but "freeze" up especially with a tank with less than 1/4 full (which mine was), so I clear the code and put the key in the ignition, turn it once so the car isn't on, left it on and then turned on the ignition, no problem after that and I drove 300 miles in 4 hours.

Just wanted to share just in case someone might encounter it.
