thanks, subbed.
What year Hyundai Sonata and Trim is being worked on?
Nice job, partner!
Awesome thank you man. You helped me a lot.
Aloha Dan,
Your video was great and helped me to do the replacement, without it i would have taken many more hours……Thank you.
Unfortunately it did not solve my problem and the car still will not start.
I cut off the soldered joins (thinking it may change the signal) and used connectors same as you did.
still will not start. Originally i was towed home and the codes were for miss fires and one for crankshaft position sensor.
Along with renewing the sensor i also renewed the spark plugs/coils/wires.
On my code app i now get an image of an engine block and "no engine trouble codes detected".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aloha Dan,
My mechanic renewed the sensor 1 year ago. As i didn't want to spend several hundred $$$$ to do the job again i decided to tackle it myself. I wasn't comfortable and felt this was a little out of my league.But, with the help of your very informative video all went well.
I must thank you for the quality of your video, and quite frankly if i had not watched your video I do not think i would have been able to do the job.
You showed and explained all major parts of the job making it easy to follow along.
Thanks very much for a video well done. you saved me a ton of money and i also found why the other sensor failed so quickly!

I was going to spice the wires as well, but decided to try another way to install the cable without removing timing belts, or spicing wires. I removed the connector and fed the entire cable (without connector) behind the timing belt. It is quite tight, but by deflecting the belt just a bit and pushing on the sheath it will feed through quite easily. Just be sure to mark the connector and wires so you get it back together properly. Four little latches to release on the connector, and it comes apart. The wires are held in place with a green locking tab that you simply pull out.
so cutting the crank shaft position sensor. didnt harm the signal or anything. no cel…nothing. worked just fine??? im working on a 99 eclipse spyder 4g64 and was trying to get around having to take the timing belt off. so i could do this. and wont harm anything…
thank God for people like you, I know it wasn't easy to make a video of this caliber. thanks for taking the time to make this! you saved my ass bro. vary thankful for you.
I have a 03 Sonata and it is also a 2.4 do you think the process would be the same for the most part?
