Hello, all, thanks for putting up this forum. I'm a newbie, just registered a couple minutes ago and posting for the first time. I've had a lot of cars over the years, but never owned or had to work on any subies, so I had a quick question for you guys. There's a car for sale here in Hawaii, very cheap, the owners says he took it to a shop and they told him cam timing sensor was broken... he describes power suddenly stopped, no warning, and no partial power; just zero in a second. I can't find any posts with this particular item, and the pics of the cam timing belt replacement don't seem to be up right now. I don't know if they got a code to diagnose this or not, I'm just playing with the idea of picking this car up real cheap to help out a friend who is walking to the grocery store everday (he's 70 years old and has no family here) 1) can any of you guys send me a pic or point me to one that shows the cam timing sensor? Are there 1 per bank or only 1 for the entire engine? Hard to get to? lots of ancillary parts removal? Time to completion? Also, does this part throw a code? or did they diagnose this by the seat of their pants? 2) where are the best online parts places that can send me this part quickly? thanks for any help, I've got lots of experience with Honda and Porsche, if you've got questions there pls feel free to drop me an email.
