To install:

1. Ensure that the engine is set to Top Dead Center (TDC).
2. Prepare the auto tensioner for installation by compressing it in a vise and installing a retaining pin.
3. Install the timing belt in the following order:
   1. Crankshaft sprocket
   2. Idler pulley
   3. Left bank exhaust camshaft sprocket
   4. Left bank intake camshaft sprocket
   5. Water pump pulley
   6. Right bank intake camshaft sprocket
   7. Right bank exhaust camshaft sprocket
   8. Tensioner pulley
   
   
4. Install the auto tensioner. Do not remove the retaining pin at this time.
5. Check that the crankshaft and camshaft timing marks are aligned correctly.
6. Rotate the crankshaft 1 / 4 turn Counterclockwise .
7. Rotate the crankshaft 1 / 4 turn Clockwise to return the engine to TDC.
8. Loosen the tensioner pulley center bolt.
9. Apply 44 inch lbs. (5 Nm) torque to the tensioner pulley as shown and tighten the center bolt to 32-41 ft. lbs. (43-55 Nm).

10. Remove the auto tensioner retaining pin.
11. Rotate the crankshaft 2 revolutions Clockwise , then wait 5 minutes for the auto tensioner to adjust.
12. Measure the auto tensioner rod as shown. If the measurement is not 3.8-4.5 mm, then repeat the belt tensioning procedure.

13. When the auto tensioner measurement is correct, install or connect the following:
    
    Engine mount Upper and lower timing belt covers Belt tensioner pulley Power steering pump pulley Crankshaft pulley Idler pulley Accessory drive belts Engine cover Negative battery cable
    
14. Reprogram the radio anti theft codes

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

It runs on timing belt. Replace it for atleast every 100,000 kms.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

At the front of the crankshaft. if its near time for the timing belt, you want to replace it along with any pullies, tensioner and water pump

The kia sedona water pump is an internal pump and needs to be replaced with timing belt service. if it is leaking, then you need to change the timing belt as well. probably not something you want to do in the back yard and will run you between 400 and 600 depending on your location and shop.

This is a fairly easy repair.It does not require any technical work at all.It is a job that should take a mechanically inclined person about two hours to accomplish in their garage of their house.Any other questions get back to me....Thx..

Hello martinezmelm: My name is Roger and I can answer your question. To locate the crankshaft position sensor. You will need to remove the timing cover. You will find the sensor on top of the crankshaft gear. Between the V of the timing belt.
Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer as this way I know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
