Bouncy suspension, bottoms out, is it broken?
A certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, needs to examine your suspension system (https://www.yourmechanic.com/book/?mktg_jid=358) to identify any shocks that are leaking.

Why Do Side View Mirrors Say That Objects Are Closer Than They Appear?

Typically a sticking valve does not cause the VVT solenoid (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-does-a-variable-valve-timing-vvt-solenoid-last) to fail, but it can increase vacuum pressure inside the motor that will lead to other timing related issues, which can trigger the same error codes. Anytime...
Nonstop backfiring
Backfiring (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/what-causes-a-car-to-backfire) occurs when the air fuel charge in a cylinder(s) fires at the wrong moment often when the exhaust valve is opening. There are backfires into the intake manifold, too, however. If during your work on the engine you...
Transmission problem?
