Default flashing CEL.

Today I just got back from vacation, and when I picked up my car, it had flashing CEL and car was shaky. And After couple min, CEL just stayed on. So I called Audi Roadside and made them to tow it to nearest dealer. Anybody know what would be the problem? is it coilpack gone bad? My car was in airport parking lot for a month, but they did warmed up car, couple times. If it is coilpack problem, how long Audi going to take to fix that? Also does dealer open tomorrow? TIA
