I have a 2002 subaru out back it shut down on me so i put a code reader on it and it said camshaft sensor so i changed it and it still wo,t start and i checked it again and it still says cam shaft sensor please help me
Do you have the four cylinder or the six cylinder? The six cylinder has 2 camshaft sensors - one for each camshaft. If you are still getting the code, you may have replaced the wrong one.
i have a six 3.0 h6 but autozone says i only have one sensor
Here is the Autozone oage for the 3.0 six cylinder. There is only one part number listed for the cam sensor, but if you look in the details below the picture it says quantity required is 2.
Lisa - Found a picture of the crank and cam sensors, Crack sensor in center of pictire - cam sensors on the top right and left.
Picture is oriented looking at the rear of the engine with the transmission removed
Change 2 - The picture above is wrong...sorry Have new pictures showing cam sensors. There is one on the intake cam and one on the exhaustr cam.
Here is a link to the engine service manual I used to get these last photos. It may Help. You can download and save it.

This is actually an easy swap out. Remove the electrical connection, remove the retaining bolt and pull out old one. I believe the sensor is located in the front passenger side of the engine on this particular model.

I replaced the Cam Shaft Sensor. I also cleaned the Throttle Body with carb cleaner. I had my wife hold down the accelerator, while running I sprayed down the throttle plate and the entire area around it. Now my TB finally idles smoothly, and it hasn't died yet!! Check engine light is gone and I passed the emissions test!! Yea!!!

change the crankshaft positon sensor in the rear of the engine above the oilfilter. Also check the wiring to this sensor, they have a problem shorting out. You have to change the camshaft and crankshaft sensors at the same time. Make sure you give your car a major tune up. Did you check yor starter?.........runjoe

OK, you have a code PO341 which means their is a problem with the signal the ECU is receiving from the cam sensor. It does not necessarily mean the sensor is bad. It can be one of these things.
1. Cam sensor wiring routed too close to spark plug wiring (causing interference)
2. Poor wiring connection at cam sensor
3. Poor wiring connection at PCM
4. Bad cam sensor
5. Damaged reluctor wheel
You replaced the cam sensor and the problem is still there so we can assume that a defective cam sensor was not the problem. Do this.
1. Check that the wiring isn't routed too close to any secondary ignition components (coil, spark plug wires, etc.)
2. Visually inspect the wiring at the sensor for any burn marks, discoloration indicative of melting or chafing
3. Visually inspect the reluctor wheel through the cam sensor port (if possible) for any missing teeth or any damage
4. If reluctor isn't visible from outside the engine, visual test can only be done by removing cam shaft or intake manifold (depending on engine design)
