95legacy Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 so i got my first check engine light today, scanned it and turned out to be a P0340 error relating to the camshaft position sensor. From my readings in the forum, it seems that it is a easy replacement. Unfortunately, I am not even close to an novice on this stuff so does anyone have diagrams or pics of where this camshaft position sensor will be on a 1995 Legacy L AWD? Thanks in advance. -Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no idea what to look for. -Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frag Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 The photo shows the cam sensor with the cam belt cover off. On your engine, its, just on top and behing the black plastic cam covers on the drivers side not far from the dipstick. The crank sensor is just behing the crank pulley. Find it and then follow the cam belt cover egde to the right and you'll find the cam sensor. It's much like the crank sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95legacy Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks everyone for your help!!!! The pic help especially because the old sensor was so corroded, I barely recognized it!! Car now starts up perfectly with no CEL. Many thanks again and you guys rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hklaine Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 You may also want to replace the Crank Position Sensor if the Cam Position Sensor was bad. They are mechanically near identical and critical for engine timing. -Heikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
