90 Legacy Crankshaft Position Sensor

Does anyone know if a sensor out of a 95 legacy will work in a 90? I know the wiring is different bu I was thinking of splicing the two together....any thoughts....

I would not recommend splicing the wiring together. The voltage signals are very low and splicing the wiring will add resistance that could cause the signal to be noisy. Also there is shielding on the wire you would need to hook up.

well just wanted to let any who is interested know, i did end up trying this out, i took a sensor off a 05 wrx along with the plug and extra wire, stripped the stock sensor wiring, unwrapped the shield, cut the wiring, spliced it together, re-wrapped the shield and when i installed it, IT WORKED! So far so good, a 25 dollar repair, YAY!

Glad it worked!
