Have had both a jumped belt and a timing sensor failure. Jumped belt will still run, just sluggish, low power, runs out of steam about 5000-5500 rpm. Did two track days with the jumped belt, before YT figured out what was wrong. Replaced both my pre-Cats before the diagnosis was made. Got passed by everyone, but no permanent damage.
Bad cam sensor is much worse. Probably can't keep it running at all, even at idle. I tried to keep mine going with generous use of the accelerator and set the elastomeric Cat hangers on fire. Needless to say, the main Cat was toasted and starting spitting pieces of matrix out the exhaust tips shortly thereafter. So, the difference is that with a skipped belt, depending upon how many teeth, it will still run, just poorly. With a dead cam sensor, you won't be able to get to the end of the block.

I did check the codes.

After discussing it with them they think that would be a good place to start! $300 to start??? not in my world. They need to work out what the problem really is and just do that. They said they took off the cats and they "looked great inside. I know nothing about those contraptions, and maybe looks is how they are tested??? |

If I cut out the cat on the hot side...

Do you know if a flexable pipe that could be clamped in might be available. No welding stuff here? Thanks, Keith Last edited by kwren; 03-26-2008 at 02:51 PM. |

Yes, if you can clamp on a flexible pipe, or even hacksaw some 3" lines each end of a non-flexible slightly larger pipe, and clamp that on, it would work OK. However, you will eventually be welding [or brazing] the cat into place if you replace it. Joe

On 1st Subaru parts it is called the camshaft position sensor. You have to drill down their menu to find it, I found it here: << Mechanical Catalog - 1992 - Subaru - Svx Electrical, Powertrain control, Camshaft position sensor, Camshaft position sensor, svx >> for $159. I could not find it in Subaruparts.com. The WSM calls it the Cam Angle Sensor. I hope this is a help. Joe

Thanks Joe. I should have tried a different web site.
