Misfire on all Cylinders

[Wan15bad]

Hi All,

Car was driving fine then started to stutter and threw up a drivetrain error. Seems to drive fine at speed however very rough and shaky idle and low speed.

Has thrown up misfires on all cylinders (Plugs replaced around 2 months ago).

Recent valve cover replacement however car was fine after and has done around 100miles, no smoke since.

Seems odd to have all the misfires recorded below as wouldn't expect all coils and plugs to fail together. Would a faulty VANOS sensor cause misfires?

Any advice appreciated.

I'd start with the P13C9 as its the only code you listed that will affect all cylinders.

Thanks, I've ordered a new Vanos solenoid will replace that and go from there!

To update if anyone experiences this same issue. Started car today very rough idle left running for 5 mins and issue cleared. Took for a hard drive and no issues.

May well come back but im stumped for now.

Would still replace the Vanos because from personal experience, when a problem temporarily clears, it gets worse once it pops up again. Chances are, with all those codes, there is a legitimate problem that needs attention.
