SOURCE: check engine light flashing

Ok, well I doubt very much that changing the engine would cure all of the faults. If say a piston had gone bad ( and they have been known to without warning) it would not cause all of the fault codes to read. I would start checking all of the wiring connections especially the earth wires as the early Subarus did not have very good wiring. Also check to make sure no water has got into the fusebox area.

SOURCE: I have a 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback AWD. The

when you replaced the plugs , was one of them (cylinder 1 ) dirty and fouled ?
I'm thinking that bad rings in cylinder would give you low compression , and eventualy cause the missfire by fouling up the plug.
There is an inexpensive product that will help with the compression by filling up scratches in the cylinder walls. It is called Restore , and it is one of the only products of its type that I have used , and feel actually works.
Unfortunately , if your rings are broken , or badly worn , nothing in a bottle will fix them.

If your car had a distributor cap and rotor , I would change them too.

SOURCE: 99 subaru legacy outback w/2.5 L boxer engine.

This code is associated with the EVAP system which includes, but not limited to gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valves. The EVAP system is supposed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping the fuel system

If you have this code, one of the following may have happened:
Gas cap not installed properly or faulty gas cap
Purge solenoid has failed
Canister is plugged and not working properly

This code can be tricky to resolve, but try some of these:
Remove and reinstall the gas cap and or replace the gas cap and clear the code and see if it comes back
Inspect the the hoses, and tubes for any sign of a hole or cut
Inspect for damage or disconnected hoses around the purge solenoid
Check and or replace the sensor
Check and or replace the purge valve

SOURCE: 2000 Subaru Outback Wagon (100K miles) with P0420 Code

I do not know for sure if this is the problem you are having, But, I have noticed that from 95 up to 2002 I have seen a lot of PO420 codes that have been just the sensor. I do not know if it was a weak sensor or just that program telling it that it is below threshold. I did notice that if the vehicles are run for a long trip at highway speed it goes out. I wish you luck and have a great day.

2003 ford focus 2.3 liter code p0320 comes up what does this mean

codes are OBDll and are available on line free

The most common cause of the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) PO320 is either a defective CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor or poor connection. Inspect the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor circuits and harness for a possible chafe on ground.Wiggle test the CKP sensor circuits with the engine idling to see if tapping or wiggling on the harness will result in a misfire or stall condition.

I have 4 codes that came up on my 2005Chevy impala, PO 128,PO336,PO38,and PO 386can anyone tell what these are?

P0038 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 2
P0128 - Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temp Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature)
P0336 - Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit A Range/Performance
P0386 - CKP Sensor B Circuit Performance.
your most likely need to replace the crankshaft sensor and probably will take care of the 0336 and 0338 codes.
you then need to check your coolant level, if low fill and look for leaks, if not low, most likely replacing the thermostat will correct other two codes

Tying to find crank sensor for 2002 Cadillac Seville std 4.6 liter

This answer covers 1999-2005 Cadillac Deville, Eldorado & Seville.
Example Engine:
2002 Cadillac Seville STS 4.6L SFI DOHC HO 8cyl.

This engine has (2) Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors: the Upper sensor is CKP sensor B, and the lower sensor is CKP sensor A (this is included for the OBD-II DTC codes - P0385 references Sensor B = upper CKP sensor, whereas P0335 references the lower CKP sensor (sensor A)).

Both crankshaft position sensors are located in the front of the engine just above the oil filter adapter. To access both CKP sensors, jack up vehicle on the passenger side, remove the oil filter, and the oil filter adapter, including the Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) switch. See illustration.
tying-find-crank-sensor-2002-cadillac-3hcuyyaerdphtgzyedxwn2k0-1-0.jpg
The ARROW points toward Front of Car.
1. Upper Crankshaft Position Sensor (B).
2. Lower Crankshaft Position Sensor (A)
3. Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) switch
4. Engine Oil Level switch
The Oil Filter is the can-type object below the oil filter adapter, which includes the EOP switch. Recommend: remove oil filter with an oil filter socket/strap wrench, since it's close to the oil pan.

Changed all spark plugs 2 coils still getting po316 and po305 what could be causing this f150 4.6 liter problem started after putting in a new fuel pump

Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0316 means that a cylinder misfire was detected within the first 1000 revolutions of the engine crankshaft after engine startup. This code will always be stored at the same time with freeze frame data and a fault code for the offending cylinder.
This is where DTC P0305 comes in.
This code means that cylinder #5 is the cylinder that is causing the misfire.
Coils and plugs are only two of the many possible reasons for a cylinder misfire.
The possible reasons for both of these codes are:
> Damaged crankshaft position sensor
> Ignition system (Primary or Secondary)
> Faulty fuel injector or fuel injector control circuit
> Poor fuel quality (will usually cause MULTIPLE cylinder misfire codes)
> Base engine faults (burned valves, low compression, damaged lifters or cam, blown head gasket, etc.)
> Damaged/malfunctioning PCM

NOTE: The LEAST LIKELY cause is the PCM. A damaged Crankshaft Position Sensor will usually cause problems on ALL cylinders, not a single cylinder, however it IS possible if the sensing ring is damaged.

Engin light is on when i check it by computer it gives me error P1336 [25,10,13,36] , please refer to relevant terchnical manual

The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn feature is used to calculate reference period errors caused by slight tolerance variations in the crankshaft, and the CKP sensors. The calculated error allows the powertrain control module (PCM) to accurately compensate for reference period variations. This enhances the ability of the PCM to detect misfire events over a wider range of engine speed and load.

The code P1336 is for a Crankshaft (CKP) and/or Camshaft (CMP) position sensor input signal to PCM concert. It is triggered if the input signal to the PCM for either of these sensors is erratic. Per the factory service manual, this can be due to:
- a damaged PCM
- damaged CKP sensor
- damaged CMP sensor
- base engine
- harness concerns.

The service manual suggests checking the following items:
- harness routings,
- alterations,
- improper shielding,
- or electrical interference from other improperly functioning systems.

To properly check the operation of the CMP and CKP, you'll really need an oscilloscope. The code is probably being triggered due to a faulty sensor or connection and not something that just needs to be reset.

Step / Action / Yes / No

1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls?
Yes: Go to Step 2
No: Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls

2. Preform the CKP system variation learn procedure. Refer to CKP System Variation Learn Procedure. Did you complete the action?
Yes: Go to Step 3
No: Go to Diagnostic Aids

3. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
Turn OFF the ignition.
Start the engine.
Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC run and pass?
Yes: Go to Step 4
No: Go to Step 2

4. With a scan tool observe the stored information, Capture Info.
Does the DTC run and pass?
Yes: Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List
No: System OK


Diagnostic Aids:
The CKP system variation values are not stored in the PCM memory after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual CKP variation is not within the CKP system variation compensating values stored in the PCM, DTC P0300 may set.

The CKP system variation learn procedure is also required when the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P1336 is set.
An engine replacement
A PCM replacement
A harmonic balancer replacement
A crankshaft replacement
Any engine repairs which disturb the CKP sensor relationship

If the CKP system variation learn procedure cannot be performed successfully, check for the following conditions and correct as necessary:
A damaged reluctor wheel
Excessive crankshaft runout
A damaged crankshaft
Interference in the signal circuit of the CKP sensor
A coolant temperature that is not within the Conditions For Running the DTC
The ignition switch is in the ON position until the battery is drained
A PCM power disconnect with the ignition ON may erase the stored value and set the DTC P1336

Hope helps.

Just coded my 1999 Kia Sephia, P0303, and P0336 came up not sure what that means. needs help.

Hello ayltaz: My name is Roger and I Will help you. The first code p0303 relates to a cylinder misfire in #3 cylinder. This could be a bad plug or plug wire. The second code relates to the crankshaft position sensor. You can just replace the sensor or have this problem tested as to replace a sensor because of a code can get real expensive and may not fix the problem. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
