Mike104 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I just put an EJ20 into my 03 Forester and the JDM EJ20 Cam Sensor was in the same place, Behind the driver's side cam gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike thanks for your reply.....I had posted this problem on a forester specific site in Australia and received a reply saying that there is no sensor on the early foresters from a subaru mechanic this is the conversation on facebook....this may be helpful to others Cheers LikeShow more reactions · Reply · 12 hrs Manage Steve Siladi Dont have one LikeShow more reactions · Reply · 10 hrs Remove John Crismanich Is it not supposed to have one?

Mike104 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks for the information. Many here are USDM users so the intricacies of the Aus vehicles is limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
