Help needed codes and misfire etc.

toymaker · 09-22-2017, 04:39 PM

I changed the oil today (Castrol euro 0w40) and then started up and it shuddered and misfired. Checked the codes and there were 6 cylinders misfiring. I changed the coils recently but that isn't the problem? I figured maybe something got fouled so I drove it a while, and minute by minute the misfiring got better and better. Finally the normal idle also returned to normal too. Now I am left with 2 persistent codes that won't clear. Any help is appreciated. The codes are 2AA4 and 2A7C. (Camshaft sensor intake, tooth fracture) and (intake, cold start). Car was fine before the oil change. Thank you for any help.

If you started having issues after the oil change, is it a possibility you put too much oil back in?

Also, it's a bad idea to drive your car hard when it's having issues...
