Does anyone know what would cause my start up to act like this? it starts off like normal then shakes up and down by like ~50 rpm then revs up to ~1.2k rpm. After that rev up by itself it settles down like normal. It drives completely fine other than being in somewhat of a limp mode.

Before this all happened I used Liqui moly 5w-30 oil change kit from FCP and had it done by my local Take 5. I've normally used 5w-40 but decided to switch this time around.

I checked both of my VANOS solenoids, cleaned them, shook them and they rattled a bit (normal), tested with a 9v battery and some alligator clips (they actuated fine), and they still cause a CEL.

When I reset the codes, I can start it up twice then it'll pop the light after it revs itself up then settles down.

This is the CEL translated from german: Error: 1(1) No.: 10876 0x2A7C VANOS, Intake, Cold Start (5584) not adjustable • Readiness Flag: (16) Test conditions fulfilled • Error status: (33) Error not currently present, OBD debounced • MIL – Status: (49) Error would cause the check engine light (MIL) to illuminate.
