NGK spark plugs do not require anti seize on the threads. It's clearly stated on the NGK website NOT to use anti sneeze because it can cause over torqueing and damage the cylinder head threads. NGK plug threads have a metal coating that is resistant to corrosion.
I know this is old, but did replacement of the solenoid fix the code? I have the same problem. I also had noise on startup for which I had the camshafts and gears replaced. Now I'm getting shuddered acceleration and the P0018 code
Hi. Regarding VVT solenoid. I can’t take out the solenoid. How did you do it? It’s sitting tightly there. I pull it but it won’t pull out. Please help me.
