skittleson Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Just wondering if anyone would be able to answer a question for me. I have a 95 Impreza and just recently it stalled on me and the check engine light came on. It started, drove it home, put a scanner on it and trouble code P0340 came up. I know what the code means but I don't know if it's something I should take in or if it something as simple as a burned out fuse or relay that I could take care of.

Nug Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Camshaft position sensor replacement: Unplug connector Remove bolt Remove sensor. Installation is the opposite of reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 The sensor is just behind the left camshaft timing belt cover (you can easily see it from above) and I think just in front of the oil fill tube. Standard procedure is to disconnect the sensor and remove it (just one bolt), then check the connection for oxydation and the sensor's resistance between its leads. You should get between 1K and 4K ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 This sensor was part of a recall by Subaru on the 95's. Check your VIN with the dealer, It may be covered. My 95 2.2 AWD had the recall. Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
