Having done a search on the BBS, I'm pretty confident that the problem is either the crank sensor or cam sensor....usual characteristics of starting perfectly when cold then not starting after a short run (turns over but won't fire).

Now the query I have is where these sensors are?

The problem has only started after I had the drivers side rocker cover gasket replaced at GGR and I was wondering whether either of these sensors would have been removed or disturbed etc while this was being done?

It could just be a coincidence

Just done an ECU check thing and its one long flsah, three short flashes which is camshaft position sensor isn't it?

Where is this located (bearing in mind my first post).....

no i aint changed mine , but it looks dead simple to change (10mm bolt) .
cheers mark.

 

So if that is the cam sensor, anyone know how much a new one costs?

And where from?

Cars a 95 wrx so no "subaru dealer" answers please

You could try remove and clean...we had a wheel bearing replaced on a Granada years ago, after it came back the ABS would not work.
Found when I 'pulled' the sensor that it had grease all over the end and couldnt 'read' the hub teeth!

Worth a try

 

Hhmmmm.....may be a stupid question, but if there was a bad connection on the sensor plugs, would the ecu check show it up as a fault with the sensor?

Is it worth a liberal squirt of WD40 to try?
