2E8E is a code for the IBS. Could be bad or need a new battery. Did you have your battery replaced recently.
2A98 is a VANOS code the unit could be going bad, the hook ring seals or Vanos solenoid inlet. Once you figure it out change oil

I hope it is your camshaft sensor but I don't see those failing too often. The possible issue I gave was the most common. How many miles do you have
