Welcome to 2CarPros.

Anytime there is a problem with a coil resulting in a misfire, I replace the plugs. However, in this case the code you have isn't related to the coil or a plug. The code indicates there is an issue with intake valve timing (IVT). Did you do anything to a cam sensor? Is anything disconnected? Is the vehicle running properly?

I attached a pic of the sensor I'm referring to. Check it to make sure it isn't disconnected or damaged. Also, make sure the coolant temperature sensor is connected.

Let me know.
