VSA and check engine light

today on the way home from work my 2005 tl started acting up. when slowing down and coming to a stop, the engine would start to stutter then smooth out and be fine again under acceleration. it happened at every red light on the way home until the last one when the vsa light came on the check engine light and the "!" light all at the same time..the engine sounded awful and kind of bucked and stuutered....i limped home...not sure what could cause this...any ideas? what to look for?
