New symptoms! Bad behavior.

It all started last night after I did an oil change...went from the super expensive Royal Purple 5w30 to Mobil 1 5w30, I know the Oil has nothing to do with it this was a problem waiting to happen but I'm not sure what it is, so I made a short video to help u guys identify it.

Weird as this sounds, I un plug the negative from the battery for 10 min, put it back on and the problem seem to be gone.

Problem is unplugging your battery resets your fuel trims. That's a total band aid fix. Need to get to the root of the problem.

Mine did it the other day, but I've been having to disconnect the battery as my ignition stuck the same time my trans went. I unplugged the battery again for 30 seconds, hooked it back up and good as new. Everything was going haywire, service esc, service abs, service airbag, etc...
