your rings could be going, or just one ring with bad compression, the new plugs making it worse makes me think one. Find someone with a compression tester. but i hope its just plugs , good luck.

check for fire.

those caty codes don't lie brother, save the money from the o2 sensors, and just get a new caty when she kicks the bucket. I have had good luck removing o2 sensors without damaging them. But new ones will help with the gas mileage, if you get good mileage now, you may want to skip them. have fun!

no,no these are both 2.5's.

I'm glad to see that your a good sport grossgary , thanks for the link.

Got it running, the tooth count was different on the back of the cam and crank sprocket. I changed the crank first because i was getting that crank sensor code. For fun i decided to see if it would fire, it did. I scanned the car after it fired, sure enough the cam sensor code came up, so i popped the belt back off and changed it out, it was different. Runs great now and NO codes. I must ask why you guys think it is a phase 1 or2 thing? I have not really done any home work on them, but i thought 1was dual and 2 was single. Both engines heads are single cam. I am still up in the air as to why the sprockets were different. But i do have some evidence that says the sprockets are different in manuals than in automatics.

Yes it does matter, i want to know if i am going to run into this trigger problem again, if i do the same thing down the road. I don't want to be pulling the timing cover off every motor just to make sure. If they are different i want to know. I do know the code, and what it means , but i only wanted answers from people who also know what it is. If i told everyone what it was, I would have a bunch of people thinking they knew. And I already said i was going to check my teeth, so your no help.

I just put the motor out of my 2000 auto legacy, in my manual 2001 legacy, and i have a no start problem. The intake that was in the car was put on the new block. I am getting a 336 code. I removed cleaned replaced, then removed and replaced with new one, and still get the code. Are the magnetic plates behind the crank pullies really different? I read from one man, who sounds like he knows his stuff that there are a different # of teeth on auto's than manuals, this makes sense to me, w/ the 336 code. But i have also seen a ton of people on the web say it is "BS" . I dont trust these people. I dont think that they have been where i am right now. Right now i am planning on poping off the timming covers tomorrow and checking myself. Has any one been there done that? or seen this before?
