So about 2 weeks ago I was getting multiple codes and had a bad oil leak, which I figured was the valve cover since I had replaced the VCG about a month ago. I had my mechanic replace the valve cover and the eccentric shaft sensor since I was getting fault codes for that too. I thought fixing these issues would make codes 29E0 and 29E1(mixture control: running lean) go away but they are still there. The car has been running well but these past couple days its been a little shaky when cold and it feels like something is bumping around inside. today when I went to start it up and it blew a small cloud of white smoke out, I'm not sure what its from but is there anyway this is a cause of the mixture control code? I'm not sure where else to go from here since different forums say different things. My car is stock and at 106,000 miles. I love my car but I'm starting to get really frustrated with the multiple expenses I've had already
If anyone has some thoughts about what I could, I would greatly appreciate!

I'm going to try and do whatever I can to fix it but if not I may have to end up selling it since my parents got me the car and I'm starting to think I won't be able to afford the future expenses since I'm still in college

Go back to your mechanic and tell him the car still not fixed. He can help you troubleshoot. Try swapping the Vanos solenoids next.
