Gary, Sensor is 3 to 4 inches above the starter motor on the V6
on 2.4 I4 engines the sensor is behind the timing cover if I am remembering correctly. Service manual PDF
My online Sonata manual shows these possibilities, but does not identify which applies specifically to 2000 Sonata. Also, when you talk to the dealership parts counter, you'll need to know whether your 2000 Sonata is (a) 4-cylinder 2.4L MFI DOHC engine, or (b) 6-cylinder 2.5L MFI DOHC engine. Its easy to tell - just count your spark plug wires.

The crankshaft position sensor is located next to the flywheel. The crankshaft position sensor is located next to the flywheel/torque converter. The camshaft position sensor is located on the engine near the timing belt cover and under the upper radiator hose. The crankshaft position sensor is located on the driver-s side of the vehicle, down by the lower radiator hose. The crankshaft position sensor is located on the engine near the crankshaft pulley. The crankshaft position sensor is located at the front of the engine near the timing belt.

Wiring problem or the ECU (engine control unit) is defective. Try this, disconnect the battery cables from the battery and short/touch them together for 30 seconds (do not do this if connected to the battery). Then, reconnect the cables to the battery posts & see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, then there is a wiring problem associated with the cam pos snsr or the ECU has gone bad.
Most likely yes. It's not that the cam is out of position (that's controlled by the timing belt, so as long as the belt hasn't slipped, the cam is where it should be). What's more likely is that the cam sensor has gone bad, as you're suggesting, and it's not able to tell the computer the position of the cam, or it's telling the computer that the cam is in a position that the computer knows it can't be.
