Question
Do you know how to change the Crankshaft sensor on my 2005 Hyundai Sonata? If so, please tell me how.

Answer
On most of these cars it is right above the crankshaft pulley(thats the big one at the bottom of the engine) so you will need to remove the wheel(usually passenger side) and support the car on axle stands.If you remove the inner plastic shield then look at the pulley,you will see the sensor and i believe its held on with 2 bolts,10mm or sometimes 3.You will need to remove the cable where it plugs in the loom also.If you have trouble let me know and i will try to help you out.You can email me kneesliderire@yahoo.com its faster that way.Im assuming you have no spark?
