Need to know the location of the map sensor on an 1999 hyundai sonata 6 cylinder

Here's a picture to your cylinders,number one cylinder is at that side exhaust manifold,the sensor is screwed into it. Specifications Firing Order AutoZone com

www.hyundaitechinfo.com and make a free account and logon. You can see all the info that the mechanics use. The site is hard to use though.

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.

The CPS for these motors is located in the front of the engine and the the timing belt cover needs to be removed to gain access. If you need further instructions on removal as well as diagrams, email me at [email protected] and I will send those immediately.

I was wrong about the distributor being round (I was thinking about my other car). I found variations about the firing order but after troubbleshooting, varified the plug wiring order from the front of the car is 1 - 4 - 5 - 2 - 3 - 6 not 1 - 4 - 5 - 2 - 6 - 3 found on several web sites. From the front of the car looking at the engine, the back three cylinders by the firewall going from left to right are 1, 3, 5. The front three are 2, 4 & 6.

The sensor is located on the left hand rear side of the block (near the bell housing). It is held in place by a 10mm bolt. It's to the right of the exhaust manifold (LH - radiator side) on the V6. Once you purchase the new sensor you'll be able to identify it on the engine. The connector to this sensor is located in the illustration.
A word to the wise... replace the O2 snsr as well.

Autozone.com says that for this vehicle the firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6 and the set-up is 2/1 4/3 6/5 meaning that the #6 cylinder is far right on the back. It goes #1 #3 and #5 in the front and #2 #4 and #6 in the back.

Trouble Code: P01167

HO2S-11 Controller Adaptive Test (Bank 2)

HI, this code represents a fault within one or both of the O2 sensors that are located on the exhaust system i will list the possible causes of this code you are receiving.


Possible Causes:

Air leaks after the MAF sensor, or in the EGR or PCV system

Base engine "mechanical" fault affecting one or more cylinders

Exhaust leaks located in front of the A/FS or HO2S location

Fuel control sensor is out of calibration (i.e., ECT, IAT or MAP)

Fuel delivery system supplying too little fuel during cruise or idle periods (e.g., faulty fuel pump or dirty, restricted fuel filter)

Fuel injector (one or more) dirty or pressure regulator has failed

HO2S is contaminated, deteriorated or it has failed

Vehicle driven low on fuel or until it ran out of fuel

the firing order is 1342 one being the first cylinder to the front by the belts

It is either a 2.4L 4 cylinder, or a 2.5L V6. I double checked with Hyundai and this is all they show to offer for 1999. If you are still unsure, check how many spark wires you have, 4 or 6, and this will tell you how many cylinders you have. Hope this helps.
