I've read the archives on SES, but wanted to clarify my situation and see if anyone has any recent learnings on this. My SES warning light came on today all of a sudden (500 miles on my 3.0 sport with steptronic). It idled roughly and it didn't make a difference whether it was in park, drive, or neutral. It also seemed to hesitate when accelerating, like it was starved for fuel and wasn't shifting properly. After 5 miles on the way home, it started to shift better and the rough idle stopped. It still shifts abruptly from 1st to 2nd, but is riding better. I plan on taking it in for service tomorrow, but does anyone know what's going on (and should I be concerned)??

And yes, I did check the gas cap after refueling and it was recapped properly (with the click).
