1993 Legacy ss 5mt
Ive decided to sell my legacy after this last issue. I blew the headgasket. I took the heads off got them machined,ported and polished and painted with high temp paint. We put the car back together with all new felpro gaskets and hoses. The car turns over and fires but it will not run. My buddy said that the cam sensor looks damaged and wanted me to buy a new one.I went to the subaru dealer and they said it would be 396$. I dont have the money to put into the car so im just going to sell it..The car is not running.It is a very clean ss and has very clean interior and body.The car has around 167***.. im asking best offer..and for my fastest response email me.. nicv217@aol.com

Price and Pics.

Just sent by buddy in Unionville the link. Last time here was out here he loved mine and was talking about getting one. Good luck with the sale. FYI though if you can pay to get it running you'll be able to more thank make up the part costs.

cam sensor can be had for 40-60 bucks at the local autozone or pepboys.

must be something else this guy dont tell or he jusat crazy lol
nice car buddy i wish you were not far i would have pick it up
if you part it out let us know.

but i really think you should just buy the part you need too fix it.
how the fuck you blow the head btw i got the same km on mine hope this is not going to happen to me. cuz ill part out mine too heheheh

good luck

I blew the head gasket because the car was very cold and I beat on it
like an ass..someone send me the like for the 40 cam sensor i'd just fix it.please no more comments unless someone wants it

I'd be interested, but I'm sure as shit not buying a car for $2k that's not running.

You might want to rethink that whole "rarity" thing... Doesn't fly here... Everyone in here has at least one, and most folks have parted out a few to boot.

no longer going to sell..everyones telling me i can get a camsensor for 40 dollars.. show me the links if everyone can find it that cheap

your not to far away. so I have a few questions for youi. have you checked for spark while cranking the motor. are you getting pressure in the gas line into the filter. feel it when you first try to start the car. it will beat a few times.

if it is a cam gear you need let me know which one and I will check. should have it up state. was the motor running with all the other items on the motor. or had they been added after the cam gear broke.

you may want to check the timing marks on the crank and the cam gears. they should all point up. the one for the crank is the one to be sure about. there is a small notch but it is off set to the right if I remember correctly. that is only a tooth. so you may just want to check to be sure.

subie's usually are good starters. if you would get back to me we can try to get it started.

holla back at me. even willing to come out to you to help if you need. cost you price of gas. oh yea can bring cam gear if you like.

be well, Bepa

I'd be willing to bet the timing belt was incorrectly installed. What mark was used to line up the belt on the crank pulley? It's an all too common mistake!

Also, check your codes to be sure. If the cam sensor is bad, your car will tell you!

there is no links per say on the cam sensors. just go to ur local auto stores, (u may need to check several different ones). also if they dont have it try the junkyard.

im still having a hard time grasping the dealer would charge 400 bucks for a common sensor. try a different dealer.

do me a favor Call Milford ct Subaru

okay sorry I said a cam gear when it is a cam sensor you need. I have one of these also. glad to hear your keeping the car. they are sweet. plus the list of parts is pretty long. why give up on it.

liked the list of parts you have in and on it as well.

let me know if you are interested in it. oh yea any cam sensor from a 2.2 should work. but to be on safe side stay with a 1990 - 1994 2.2. does not matter what body style you get one from either.

be well, Bepa
