★ Top Answer
The 2008 Subaru Tribeca is built with a pair of camshaft position sensors, known as CPS, located within the valve cover at the top rear corners of the engine - one on the driver's side and one on the passenger's side. They can suffer damage or operational issues over time, often due to condensation buildup, especially if the vehicle is not used frequently. These sensors play a crucial role in supplying data to determine the appropriate fuel and air mix for engine combustion and spark. If the sensor data is inaccurate, it can affect the driving experience, leading to reduced fuel efficiency, rough idling, stalling, slow acceleration, or warning lights appearing on the dashboard. Replacing one of the Tribeca's camshaft position sensors can typically cost between $230 and $250 for parts and labor combined.

Locate the crankshaft position sensor on a 2008 Subaru Tribeca.

The crank position sensor is located on the side of the engine close to the bottom, straight down and slightly towards the rear near the oil filter tube. It resembles the cam sensor and is positioned on the passenger side with the bolt on the side. Instead of being directly across from the connecting plug, it is visible when looking straight down. Secured tightly by a single bolt, it can be a bit tricky to access due to its location.
