Default Scooby warmin then dying !!!!!!

Right to cut a long story short.... My check engine light came on all off a sudden but the car felt the same as normal. Couldnt get the check engine light checked out for a week. Anyway on way to my mechanic to have it looked at the car died and wouldnt start.

Got it towed there and have done the followin to the car as told from ppl at subaru. I done it this to save on the cost off sendin it to the scooby garage.

1. Changed the Crank Sensor ( Still wouldnt start)

2. New Spark plugs (Fired up first time then after 15m died and wouldnt start)

3. Have put a new temp sensor on ( told from scooby to do this ) as they felt it was prob get to hot ???

4. To day just for the heck off it i puttin a new air flow sensor on as well as they think it may be gettin to much fuel and floodin the engine hence why it starts in the morning and once warm it wont go.

( Ill come back with the results later about when i try it today and see what happens )

But want i wanna now is do u think the air flow sensor could have been the problem and if this dont work what could it be ??

The car is provisal booked in with subaru now for next week to go on the diagonstic (shud have done it in the first place but never mind)

Also the check engine light has now gone....

Ne help or advice would be greatfully rec'vd

Try changing the cam sensor. It's not uncommon for them to "go off" when hot. As a simple fix, check it doesn't have metal filings attached, clean off if they are there.

Cam sensor problem should show up as an error code if you interrogate the ECU.
