This problem is caused by a faulty fuel regulator on the High Pressure fuel pump. I had the same issue and replaced the fuel pump. Was throwing code P2296. Hope this helps.

My ESP light came on and the car started trembling bad - while idling and accelerating. I put so much money and labor in the issue to later find out it was just bad coil packs. Stupidity enough I skipped a simple step, PLEASE everyone check your packs. After I changed them the issue went away

I personally changed the spark plugs and coil packs to NGKs and did a carbon clean and cleaned the throttle body

I had an intermittent ESP Fault Light that would come on and my car would lose power and sputter. If I turned the car off and restarted the problem would go away. Turned out to be bad coils and spark plugs.
