Default 1999 Model Running on 7 cylinders when cold???

Here the sequence of events. Temp in this area
has been in the 30's for the past two evenings.
Car has never done this before, maybe because of temperature. Start car, has noticable miss, miss will not clear even if you run up the rpms. Let engine get up to operating temp, approx 10min, stop car, shut engine down, restart, and the thing runs perfect. Another mystery Audi bug.
Anybody have ideas.

see any smoke. Check

Default If you've got a CEL (especially blinking), you've got a code set. Get the code, chase it down.
