I had these codes before

2A98,1,Crankshaft-inlet camshaft, correlation
2A43,1,Valvetronic, thermal overload protection: warning threshold
2A82,8,VANOS intake

So I decided to do this DIY and swap the intake and exhaust solenoid. It was pretty simple. I didn't have to take anything out as both of the solenoids was accessible to me on my 07 328i.

Started the car and the idle was a bit on the high side at first. It settle down to 600rpm a bit after. Let it run for a bit and shut it off. A few mins later I started it up again and got CEL.

I checked the connectors again and the top intake solenoid was loose so I fixed that. Started it again and got a half engine check list. Turned it off and went to get my cable to see whats up using the BMWLogger.

2A98,1,Crankshaft-inlet camshaft, correlation

So I cleared the codes and DME with the BMWLogger software. Tried it again and now I got this

2CFB,1,Throttle-valve adaptation value
2D09,4,Throttle valve.

What a mess. Not sure what I did wrong but the car was running fine before but once in a while I get a CEL and the symptoms describe in the OP so I thought I'd tried an easy fix first.

Anyone know what I did wrong here?
