Can anyone send me a picture of where the crankshaft position sensor is mounded on the motor we have traced it so far but than nothing. I need a diagram of where it is and what we need to take off to find it.
Thanks

I don't have a diagram however I can tell you that you will have to remove the belts, crankshaft pulley,
timing belt cover, timing belt, power steering pump,
motor mount, and engine mount brackets etc.
The sensor is located on the front side of the crank shaft and is held in by 2 bolts with 10 mm heads.
The sensor is easy to change however you must pay close attention to the routing of the wire so you don't pinch it with the power steering pump bracket upon reinstallation.
The whole job including replacing the timing and balance shaft belts should take you about 4-5 hours.
Hope this helps!

I have a 2000 Hyundai Sonta, 2.4 L, 4 cyl. Lately when I drive, the engine will shut off and turn back on (rpms drop to zero and then kick back on) or will shut off and stall (may restart right away, may not). Had O'Reilly's and AutoZone run diagnostics and get 355 CrankShaft Sensor Postion A. Had this same problem when I first bought the car and they replaced the Crankshaft postion sensor under warranty.

Assuming I need to replace my crankshaft postion sesnor again.

Bought the part, and can find the terminal end on my engine, but cannot find the other end. Anyone know an easy way to find it. Have tried tracing the wire, but run into a dead end, have taken tons of parts off to continue to find it, but still stuck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

It doesn't look like you need to remove the starter to get to the sensor. Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when changing the sensor, less the starter and a diagram or what it is on your car (below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
