Kia Sportage serviced, timing belt replaced, crankshaft position sensor checked and okay, but consumption getting progressively worse, now at 13,8litres/100km. Any ideas?

SOURCE: where is the crankshaft position sensor; how to replace

Both are located under the timing cover.you will have to remove the timing sproket to get to the CrankshaftPS. be careful to notice how you removed it. the sproket have to be reinstalled exactly the same way you removed it.

SOURCE: How do I replace the timing belt and the crankshaft sensor ?

if you have never done one take it to a shop because if you have the timing off a little you take a chance of bending valves then you would need a new head

SOURCE: where is crankshaft sensor on 99 kia sportage?

The crankshaft pos. sensor is located on the left "driver" side of the engine on the bellhousing and is retained by a single 10mm bolt.The sensor may be tight,be sure to twist as you pull so that it doesnt break off in the bottom end.

the computer may need to be reflashed. if it is running then it is not a bad sensor. either of those being bad would cause it not to run.
