AEIOU Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 so as far as we can tell, the reason my car is still running bad is the crankshaft gear that we repaired isn't working right. It lost a tooth somehow that communicates with the crankshaft position sensor. The guy that repaired it did an awesome job, but I think that its still not getting a good reading on the sensor maybe because of the difference in conductivity between aluminum and whatever the rest of the gear is. basically, what we have determined is that cylinders 1&2 aren't doing anything. crankshaft position sensor code is on (already replaced sensor). I want replace that gear, now, but I can't, for the life of me, find what its even called to find one. I think I can get one just at a junkyard (if worst comes to worst I live about an hour away from subaru heaven). Anyone know exactly what its called? its the middle gear in the attached picture. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That is the crankshaft sprocket. Or 'sprocket for crank pulley' I've seen it called. Even new genuine isn't overly pricey, maybe $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmdew Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Have plenty, I could send one 15 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Have plenty, I could send one 15 shipped. Me too, and hardly a wear item. But thought it wasn't worth posting with new ones being so cheap. To the OP just for kicks please check the keyway to make sure there isn't some play.

GeneralDisorder Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Need to know what year and model it is - could be a 36-2-2-2 or the older 6/7 crank gear. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEIOU Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 cool. Its a 2002 2.5TS so whatever size that would be I guess. I may take you up on the $15 shipped I'll let you know after I look into it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hard to tell. You'll have to call the dealer and find out which style you have. Very possible that it may be the 36-2-2-2 which it is doubtful the gentleman with the offer for $15 shipped has on hand as those are exclusive to *some* '99+ models.... In any case they are only about $25 new from the dealer. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEIOU Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 WOOHOOO! Got it! found one locally at the subaru heaven junkyard and now my car runs great for the first time in almost 2 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
