Read the codes, go from there.
It could be anything.

Was it pissing rain when it happened?

Damp coil packs would be my shot in the dark - certainly tallies with my experience of what happens when they go bad.
 
Had something similar happen to ours. Does it happen after using the brakes? Then quickly rectify itself on the second push of the accelorator? If so, mine turned out to be the brake light switch mounted above the brake pedal, about £18 for the new switch IIRC.

I cant remember if there was a warning light as per your post though.

As others have said, best get it scanned and go from there, could be coils, could be a lot of things.
