VANOS issue? NEED HELP
Hi guys, my car is stage 2 tuned with eventuri intakes vrsf catless downpipes and plugs coils injectors all new. Car was driving fine. I had a nice WOT run in it. Post which I was cruising around and i got a drivetrain error. Car started stuttering violently & misfiring too. The check engine light flashed too. I scanned the car at the same time & i got these codes. Post which i shut the car & restarted - still the same. I switched off the car & popped the hood open and could hear a ticking noise from the oil cap with the engine NOT running. Attaching the video & codes too. Car has only 18k miles..

I'm stumped on that, sorry. The ticking could be coming from around the oil cap area below.
I hear that choo choo sound once only when engine is switched off, that being the fuel pump priming itself keeping the fuel pressure up, could it be going off all the time with yours? |

Seeing as all misfires are on one bank I'd be curious about rail pressure as well. Ive seen plenty of high pressure fuel pump failures but typically with faults. (They do have a 10 yr 120k mile extension) Unfortunately could certainly be a valvetronic issue as well. As VANOS and Valvetronic are two completely independent systems one would not effect the other.

UPDATE - Hi guys. I had a valvetronic motor failure. I installed new valvetronic motor, the car starts up & idles fine. But once it warms up, the same issue happens, it misfires & bank 1 shuts. Should i swap dme?
