HI

I drive a 1996 Subaru Legacy (automatic). A couple of days ago I could not start the vehicle. It cranks but does not start. It started ultimately after about 10 minutes. When it started the 'check engine light' also was ON.

 

The code for the light read "cam position sensor".

 

Could that be the cause for the starting problem?

 

I had replaced the starter and engine temperature sensor 2 weeks ago. Does it have anything to do with that?

 

Thanx

That's what caused the same problem with mine a few years ago. After I got it changed, no more problems.

I think that might be why Subaru offers a package with both of them together? They were old, they are cheap, you are lucky.

thanx for the posts.

 

i thought of replacin it after the weekend.

 

today the check engine light disappeared. so should i change the sensor or wait to let it come on again.

you know its a problem after all. I'm halfway tempted to change my senders as preventitive maintence.
