Okay I am looking for a subie god mechanic who could answer this question, if no God's are avaible any help is appreciated.

Facts
2004 STOCK WRX 60+K mileage. Misfire's on 2 & 4 stutter hesitation over 5000 rpm open throttle.

CEL came on and I had it read, Code turned out to be P1068, definition was tumble generated valve sensor #2 (low), just changed the sparks on the car, so I tried to clear the codes, but they came right back. Went to a few parts stores to see if they knew what that code meant, no dice. Looked around online for the code, found out that tumble generated valve sensor just needed to be replaced. According to the forums...

Anyway, I went to the subie dealer, to get thier "expert" advice, and they told me to be sure, they would have to run it on their 85$ diagnostic machine. And if it did turn out to be the tumble generated valve sensor I can not just replace the sensor, I would have to buy a manifold assy. that costs 406 bucks. According to subaru, that sensor has to be calibrated when it is attached to the manifold, and you can't just replace the sensor or it won't work, and you will keep getting the same code.

Also I found what I am pretty sure is the part online at Autozone, follow this link for a picture

attached are pic's of the TGV and it's location on my car. If anyone know's weather or not Subaru is F.O.S. or not please let me know. Or if the Code P1068 is something other than what I descrbed above, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jake

Never mind about the above question, I figured it out. The valve can be replaced, but when you put it on the part where the wiring harness hooks to needs to be pointing up. rotate 90 degrees clockwise, (to prime the spring) and screw in. Subaru dealer is F.O.S. !!!

Thanks
