Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 2000 Hyundai Sonata 4-cylinder dohc?

On a 2000 Hyundai Sonata 4-cylinder DOHC, the crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) is typically located on the transmission bell housing, near the bottom of the engine, close to where the crankshaft's reluctor wheel is. It's usually a fairly small sensor with a single wire connector.

However, precise location can vary slightly depending on the exact engine code. To be absolutely certain, you should:

* Consult a repair manual specific to your vehicle's engine code. This is the most reliable method. The engine code is usually found on a sticker in the engine compartment.

* Use a diagram or parts catalog for your specific year and model Hyundai Sonata. Many online parts retailers provide these diagrams.

Looking at diagrams or pictures of your specific engine online can help you locate it visually once you have the engine code. Remember to be cautious when working around the engine – disconnect the negative battery terminal before doing any work.
