Check engine light, cam position sensor ej25 bh9 legacy


Fl0W

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place or somebody has a similar post but I've got a number of check engine fault codes on my 2001 BH9 Legacy 250S EJ25 (always run on 95 petrol) they are P0390, P0365 and I did have a P0130 code which might've been before I replaced the O2 sensor post cat. The other 2 codes, which I believe both relate to the camshaft position sensor. It seems to be the case because when the car is at operating temp it loves to dip very low on idle sputtering and stuttering, loss of power and almost dying, etc. I ended up buying a new camshaft position sensor from supercheap and I've replaced it with the one that lives on the passenger side towards the front of the engine near the engine oil filler tube.

 

But I've still got the same codes after resetting and I've tried a lot of other things like injector cleaner and I've cleaned the throttle body replaced air filter added (mbl8 oil additive I think?) oilange with filter every 10k km and all that jazz. It also has some type of tick along the whole rev range, to me it sounds like it's coming from the top end on the passenger side. Other than that the car runs mint when it feels like being normal but it guzzles fuel like crazy, pretty much almost 15-17 litres /100km around town.  Sorry about the novel I just wrote but I'm out of ideas and I am a student so any help would be much appreciated!

Have you checked the alternator.Had same problem with my 2002 Bh twin turbo.

oh I never thought about that, by checking the alternator do you mean testing it using a multimeter or just having a look at the cables coming from it? and did you just replace the alternator after you found it was the problem? Thanks!

Subaru mechanic with diagnostic gear couldn’t find the problem,auto electrician sorted it.Replaced alternator,problem solved.The cars original alternator charged 14 + volts running.Auto electrician mentioned a additional circuit in the alternator specific to the cam angle sensor?

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
