So, a few days ago that error code popped up - which also made the VSC OFF light come on and the car+swirvy light... anyway, I then tried to remove the spark plug and since I did not have a socket extension I could not get in deep enough so I put the ignition coil back in, well, the next morning no more lights or codes... but I thought I would try and check the plug anyway.. so I got all the tools needed and a new spark plug (denso)... so here I am and neither a 9/16 or a 14mm socket will loosen the plug in the engine...

When I turn the wrench, it just seems to try to strip the plug... do I need to warm the engine up a little? am I using the wrong socket size? also, I don't have a magnetic socket lol... so it seems like even if I did losen it how would i get it out.. This has become such a ongoing saga, not to mention 3 auto part stores did not have the plug this car needs so that added on a day and a half to it all.

Which Denso spark plug did you get for your 2ZR-FE engine?? Denso SC20HR11 (3444) has a 0.7mm-diameter Iridium center electrode and a platinum pad on the ground electrode. The thread diameter is 12mm with a length of 26.5mm, and a 16mm hexagon.

So it takes a 16mm (5/8") spark plug socket... A real spark plug socket has a rubber ring inside to hold the spark plug.

You should replace all 4 plugs at the same time. What mileage are you at?
