There is normally only one crankshaft sensor, maybe 2 camshaft sensors, one for each bank, and there are two O2 sensors for each bank.

The Camshaft Position sensor is typically located in the cylinder head of the engine and has a cylindrical portion that inserts into the head. The Crankshaft Position sensor is normally located in the timing cover or on the side of the block with a cylindrical portion that inserts into the block.

My info says it is located on rear of engine, sorry I don't have a picture of location. Three wire connector, wire colors white--yellow--pink.
There is a bolt that holds sensor, have to remove. Also, remove electrical connector.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this free answer).

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.

-- begine excerpt from 2000 Hyundai Sonata Repair guide --

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.

--- end excerpt from 2000 Hyundai Sonata repai guide ---

The crankshaft sensor is responsible for sending a signal to the PCM (powertrain control module) it tells the computer what cylinder to fire at the coresponding time, it lines up with whats called a trigger wheel on the crankshaft as the crankshaft spins there are small notches cut into the trigger wheel when 1 of the notches lines up with the crankshaft sensor a magnetic field forms between the trigger whell and the sensor and the computer charges the coil for that corresponding cylinder, once the magnetic field dissappears when the notch passes by the sensor the computer fires the spark plug for that corresponding cylinder if you have a bad crankshaft position sensor you will more then likely have a stalling condition due to weak spark or if the sensor is totally gone your engine will just crank and not start due to the spark plugs not having any spark being delivered to them......

The crank sensor is located on the engine near the flywheel axis of the crankshaft.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Removal & Installation To Remove:
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 2.4L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.0L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.3L and 3.8L engines
NOTE: On the 2.4L engine, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the engine block behind the alternator, just above the oil filter. On the 3.0L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the transaxle housing, above the vehicle speed sensor.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
4. Unfasten the sensor mounting screw, then remove the sensor from the vehicle by pulling it straight out.

To Install:
NOTE: If the sensor removed is going to be re-installed, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A new spacer must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, be sure that a paper spacer is attached to the sensor face.

1. Install sensor and push the sensor in until contact is made. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the mounting bolt to 105 in. lbs. (12 Nm).
2. Connect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

Hi!!

here are illustrations of the CKP (crankshaft position) sensor in 2.3L and 3.0L.

Note: In the bottom of the 2.3L drawing says Trottle Position (TP) Sensor, this is wrong, It should say CKP Sensor.


2.3L Engine


The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located to the left of the crankshaft pulley.

3.0L Engine


The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located just behind the crankshaft pulley on engine block.

The cost of the sensor is $23 bucks at AutoZone.
