dumbs Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 HI I drive a 1996 Subaru Legacy (automatic). A couple of days ago I could not start the vehicle. It cranks but does not start. It started ultimately after about 10 minutes. When it started the 'check engine light' also was ON. The code for the light read "cam position sensor". Could that be the cause for the starting problem? I had replaced the starter and engine temperature sensor 2 weeks ago. Does it have anything to do with that? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
state Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 That's what caused the same problem with mine a few years ago. After I got it changed, no more problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I think that might be why Subaru offers a package with both of them together? They were old, they are cheap, you are lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
