Have you check for fuel and spark?
Testimonial: "Thank you for your suggestion. I have replaced the coil packs and plugs. I have spark and fuel but it sounds like timing and at $70-100 each for sensors I want to be sure before replacing."
Did you get any codes for this sensors...there is a few videos on YouTube. ..looks like a common problem
I got a P1121 code in the transmission section of my Harbor Freight code reader. Everything I read on this code says it's the Throttle position sensor located on the throttle body, hence the confusion. I have 15.6 millivolts at the TPS and according to my Haynes book from Auto Zone I should have 300-900 millivolts.
Also, I have watched a ton of videos on this and they all say the Camshaft position sensor or the Crankshaft position sensor.
Sorento Throttle Fully
Closed terminal 3 & 4 0.3-0.9V
Throttle Fully Open terminal 3 & 4 4.2-4.7V
Sorento terminal # 1 & 4 3.5-6.5 ohms
throttle closed
Troubleshooting Hints 1. If unexpected shocks are felt during driving or the engine stalls suddenly, shake the crankshaft position sensor harness. If this causes the engine to stall, check for poor sensor connector contact.
2. If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine is cranked, check for faulty crank angle sensor, broken timing belt or ignition system problems.
3. If the engine can be run at idle even if the crank angle sensor reading is out of specification, check the following: - Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor - Faulty idle speed control motor - Poorly adjusted reference idle speed
4. The engine will run without a crank angle sensor signal, but will not start. Once the sensor detects TDC, the data is stored until the next re-start
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (TDC)
The TDC is a Hall-effect sensor that detects the camshaft position on the compression stroke of the No.1 cylinders, converts it into a pulse signal, and inputs it to the ECU. The ECU then computes the fuel injection sequence, etc. based on the input signal.
Troubleshooting Hints
If the CMP Sensor does not operate correctly, sequential injection is may not occur and the engine may stall or run irregularly at idle or fail to accelerate normally.
Thanks Rocky Ram. Lots of good info. I'll let you know what I find out today.
One good easy test to perform...spray some starter fluid and see if its a fuel problem.

The above information about the sensor being located at the top of the motor to the passenger side of center is bogus. That is only the pig tail plug in. The actual sensor pig tail continues down below, underneath the plastic lower timing belt cover, on the front of the motor, just above the crankshaft timing gear.
It is a very involved process of removing and replacing. You will have to remove all of the belts, the front timing belt covers, (upper and lower). You will also have to remove the front bracket that is mounted to the front of the block, which serves as the mount for the power steering pump, the alternator and the A/C compressor.You will also have to remove the crankshaft pulley. You cannot remove the plastic lower timing belt cover unless you remove all of these things first. The sensor is located underneath the lower cover. It has two bolts that hold it in place. You will have to remove these two bolts.
The crankshaft pulling bolt is a right handed thread and loosens by turning counter clockwise. The pulley will slip off but is a very tight fit. Do not try to turn it while removing it as there is a small pin that keeps it aligned to one position. Use a small ball pine hammer to tap it loose.
It is also a good idea to remove the electric cooling fan shroud that is mounted to the inside side of the radiator and the radiator hoses to give yourself more room to work. It has only two bolts at the top holding it in place. And then slips into two retaining clips at the bottom. Lifting it will pull it out of these retaining clips.
When you remove the small bypass hose located at the top of the radiator , to the passenger side, be careful not to break off the small nipple protruding out of the radiator tank. It is plastic and will break easily if you try to pull the rubber bypass hose from it. This will have to be taken to a radiator shop to have repaired if you accidentally break this off. Be sure to carefully loosen the hose from this nipple before trying to pull it off.
And one more thing, if you go to that much trouble to replace this sensor, it is a good idea to go ahead and replace the timing belt as well. It is a maintenance item and you will have to go through the same process to replace it as well. Do it once and do it all.
I hope this helps.

You are incorrect sir. There is a very good Youtube video showing you exactly where it is that is how I changed mine. The Crankshaft is located behind the engine block below and around from the cam sensor which is easly spotted looking at the engine. The crankshaft is in a difficult spot but once you figure out where it is it's easy...ish hope this helps

did you ever get this fixed, i am having the same problem with mine, what was wrong with it

If it's an overhead cam, which I think it is, then it should be toward the very front of the engine, likely within the timing case. There should be some wires coming from it. It's usually a small black sensor.
