Spacer for AF sensor? (prevent engine light+flashing cruise)

[edd13k]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone has (or knows where to get) a spacer for the AF sensor.

I've gotten the Engine Light + Flashing Cruise control twice since I got the car in Aug 2011, and apparently I can permanently fix or at least prevent this engine error coming up again by installing this 'spacer'

I do have a few engine mods; MRT Stage 2 (XB Kit) - Exhaust upgrade +tune (all installed by previous owner - no engine mods done by me).

Many Thanks in Advance!

Eddie

Theres your problem...

Do you know "why" it's throwing an error? Have you considered fixing the ACTUAL problem as opposed to "fixing" the sensor to stop telling you there is a problem??? Sounds like you're going the wrong way about things.

I'm not that cluey with cars, so not sure what the actual problem is. Please enlighten me.

First is to be sure what the fault is, if its tune related then go back to MRT and get then to retune ...... for free.

I'm pretty sure they blame a faulty sensor and send on your way

You've got a few options. Take it to the snakes at MRT and have them read the code via the ECU and advise. Take it to Subaru and have them read the code via the ECU and advise. Take it to an auto electrician and have them read the code via the ECU and advise. You will probably find it's a faulty o2 sensor or something that will need to be replaced as they are common faults in Gen4 Liberty's. There is no point implementing a band aid solution to the sensor if the sensor itself is faulty and causing the issues.

Use the search function and you'll find dozens of threads contain on the CEL and cruise control light flashing.
