what series? turbo/na?

My first thought would be secondary injectors dirty/failing but we should have a lot more information to help diagnose this issue.

And the cause was?

You are likely facing a bad ECU ground at the engine.

Did you recently wash the car? Or did it rain?

Injector cleaner won't help. It's nothing but snake oil.

An intermittent problem will reoccur again, probably at the worst time possible.

A good first step is to check your grounds:
