Also has any have any pics of where its situated i see its only held on with one bolt

cheers

 

have you tried clearing the code? see if comes back again mine has done that before. and its near the dipstick on 2 min job .

 

nope i havent mate its come and gone off a few times so il just replace it its not to much thanks for the help

 

Denso ECU for the bug throws up a CEL for a camshaft position sensor error if you go anywhere near the redline.......it's a known "bug" and changing the sensor won't do anything. Sometimes a clean of the one you have helps.......

Ok that does make a lot of sense i have had it come on when driving hard a few times but then after a couple of times of starting the ignition its gone again but the only thing the other day it came on when i was driving normally so was a little worried then scott at scoobyspares has one for £25 so i think i just change it for peace of mind cheers anyway

 

you can try change it but wont change anything i changed mine and it still does exactly the same its goes of after 5 starts.

 

i have the exact same problem with my bug its done it twice on mine just had the code cleared today as it came on when i was having a bit of a spirited drive over the weekend but as said it seems to come on if you go anywhere near the red bit annoying really!!!!

 

.......yep, my bugeye CEL's on again after overtaking on the A69 coming back from Newcastle last night. LOL

is there really no cure for it?? as even if you buy a new one it probally wont fix it glad i aint the only one with this problem lol

 

The problem lies in the ECU......The Bug DENSO ECU is a bloomin marvel compared to the JECS ECU that it replaced which was in the Classic.

However it was all new and has a few flaws including mis-interpreting the Camshaft position Sensor and also how it looks at the Neutral Position switch.......

People have swapped it over and it's cured but others have swapped and it persists..

I just live with it LOL

cheers for the info looks like i will have to live with it aswell lol

 

Got the same issue; glad I found this as I was going to get it fixed in the garage next week.

I have been clearing my code using a bluetooth OBDII tool, plugs into the port under the steering wheel and links to an app on my phone called Torque. Theres an option to display codes and clear them, as well as giving you a load of other readings, like revs, boost etc..

If you're living with this bug then might be worth getting one of these. I think mine was about £18 from eBay plus about £1.50 for the app. Cheers.

 

glad i found this lol same problem was going to take it out and clean it ?? were about is this situated any pics ?? 2002 wrx
