So I bought this Subaru last year for $2000 with a leaking head gasket. There were no codes before I started. I replaced all the gaskets, the timing belt, the drive belts, got the heads resurfaced and cams checked at a shop and now it is all put back together and it won’t start! It turns over and will stay running if I apply some gas, but it’s running like shit, vibrating excessively and won’t stay at an idle. There are 2 codes that popped up:
P0014: Exhaust camshaft position timing -over- advanced (bank 1).
P0198: Engine oil temperature sensor circuit high input.
I didn’t run the engine much at all, I was afraid of breaking something. Any advise on where to go from here? What tests can I do to determine the cause? I’m so invested in this car and I feel like a loser. :(
I had 2 of the coil packs mixed up, she’s purring now!!’
