2001 Subaru wagon pulled codes for camshaft sensor and the catalytic converter

Asked by Chrissy983 Feb 13, 2019 at 04:16 PM about the 2001 Subaru Legacy

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car was all of a sudden running rough I was
near an auto zone and I pulled the check engine
light codes it came up with both the camshaft
sensor and the catalytic converter. The guy at auto
zone and 2 mechanics I spoke to said 95% of the
time it’s the camshaft sensor that causes it. And to
replace that. The mechanic that replaced it today
said that it may not fix the problem. Would I need
to replace both??

If the cats were damaged due to a misfire a new camshaft sensor won't fix them.

The 2 catalytic converters (both on same pipe) on my 2001 Subaru Legacy L were hanging down from one end, scraping pavement. I drove it to shop (1 mile). Shop said pipe broke and I need new converters. I asked if they could just hang converters and pipe back up? Shop said converters were too beat up from scraping on ground. I had family in hospital and no time so I took the shop's word for it, cost of $1,085. Got the old parts back. The converters were not beat up, dented or anything. A mechanic friend said they looked fine (he doesn't work on Subarus but was sure they were fine. Pipe was broken in short area between one converter and the flange that holds it to car. Could shop have welded that? 3 Answers
