  1. Figured out the problem. The idler pulley bearing blew apart on the passenger side and the timing belt got chewed up in the middle.it makes sense why it was throwing the cam sensor code now. Looked fine on both sides haha. I'll be replacing the waterpump as well. Thanks for all the help
  2. I took the 2 side covers off the timing belt. It doesn't turn when cranked over. Sounds like the timing belt?
  3. The timing belt is still there. Seems tight. I haven't checked the timing yet. If the timing was off I figure it would still fire and just run bad. I'm not getting spark. The plug going to the coil has power when it turns over but no spark coming out of the coil. I read that the cam position sensor can stop it from firing but I'm unsure if the no spark and cam position code are related. It just seems strange to die out of the blue and not start for 2 days
  4. i havent washed the motor. i changed the coolant temp sensor. I cleaned the cam posit. sensor connector with alcohol and let it dry. it seems that im not getting spark so i changed the coil pack. still nothing. it wasnt raining. it was just cold. around 30 degrees.
  5. Could there still be a problem if I replaced the sensor and cleared the code? All the wires look fine. I'm double checking now
  6. I have a 96 legacy. It's the "L" model. Automatic. I haven't had an trouble with the car until recently. It has 80k miles. It died yesterday morning out of nowhere. A month or so ago the CEL said there was a problem with the coolant temp sensor. I figured not a huge deal and it went away soon after. Now it's throwing the cam position sensor only. It will crank but will not fire. There is fuel pressure but I can't get it to spark. I replaced the cam sensor with no change. Coil pack seems fine. Resistance was the same as a new one. Not 100% on the coil though. Plugs and wires are fine. Timing belt is there and tight. Haven't checked timing though. Any help would be appreciated.
