From what I read here that's what the Toyota techs do: change the crankshaft position sensor then the error may/may not go away. Then when it returns they change the ECU. Then after that they take your camshaft apart charging you $$ every step along the way until you get a $6k bill at the end.


What a pain, this car has been trouble free (minus crickets/condensation in the tail lights/leaky cam plate) but being babied and with so few miles I didn't expect a CEL that keeps coming back.


With zero warranty left would I have better luck at a Subaru dealership? These engines aren't the servicing nightmare of a rotary but I don't want to finance guesses.
