Hey y'all, wondering if i could get any advice.

I drive an e91 with the n52. Last seven of the vin is FZ26768. I did VCG and radiator replacement recently. Have driven the car about 30 miles or so since without any issue. 2 nights ago I washed the car and engine bay. Used a pressure washer on the passenger side motor mount and some of the underbody of the car but no direct contact with the engine or its components.

Anyways, drove it around the neighborhood on my way to school the next AM and started acting all funky while going up a hill. It had decreased power and kept jerking. After like 10 seconds the engine shut off completely. Read codes 2a99 and 2AA2. Parked it and left it till i could get it back home after school. Got it home last night. Same symptoms. This AM i cleared codes and then cleaned the VANOS solenoids with MAF cleaner and compressed air. Switched them as well. Went for a short drive. Initially OK but once i went up another hill, started acting up again with the same symptoms as yesterday. Engine shut off again. Now throwing 2a98 and 2a99.

Any advice or other threads addressing this? Thanks
