If you have a signal that's giving information, gapping the sensor really isnt the issue.
The OCV isnt the issue either, as the problem doesnt follow bank when switched.
The sprocket could* be the issue, but I have not seen the same problems others have. The sprocket is not loose from the housing, the spring in the back hasn't popped, and theres no obstruction in the plunger that would prevent the pin from the OCV reaching depth. Additionally, when not in limp mode (i.e. cam lockout mode) the car is it's normal self. There isnt the same power loss experienced from a blacked-out vvt solenoid, and theres no knocks or noise from one side popping out of time. Additionally, 2 shops I've taken it to say that the timing of the cams appears to be fine (which readings they couldn't get if the sensor weren't reading).
Admittedly, there could be intermediate loss of signal from the sensor, but switching the sensor doesnt cause the issue to follow bank.
All that said;
1, will deleting the code prevent limp mode?
2, what ECUs are interchangeable with a manual 13' FR-S? What about this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/13-Scion-FR...-/142752770889
Also, thanks for the help. The collective knowledge here is incredible. |

As ermx said, AFAIK all 2012-2016 ecu auto or manual frs\86\brz all same hardware you jyst need to flash in a correct calid for your car. Ensure you use latest factory update ie a minium of a ZA1A01x rom where x is your country calid.
Im also fairly sure the 2017+ ecu are same jyst have not swapowed one of those yet into an older car
Ecu swap proceedure here

Your only drama is if your ecutek tuned you will need to organise with tuner to swap your licience into new\used ecu.
Yes disabling the ckde in tune prevents ecu from taking action on that code so will prevent limp mode on that code. But if cams actually dont activate or phase coreectly power loss or other issues may result
