About two weeks ago, I got out to my sonata and it would not start. It would crank, but would not start up. I popped open my hood(cuz that's what people do when there car won't start) and just looked at it blankly. I got back in my car and turned the key and it started right up. A week later, the same exact thing happened to me again. Then again, it ran great and had no problems. Now 3 days ago, I went out in the morning and my car did the same thing...only this time...I popped my hood and it wouldn't start. Now for 3 days, it will crank but will not start...I don't know what the problem could be, because the first couple of times it happened...It corrected itself. Oh...and I had the same problem a couple of times a few months back. But for awhile I had no problems...until now.

 

Any Ideas...Anyone?

 

i'm sorry but it will not start by looking at it this time, your crankshaft position sensor is no good. that's why it's not starting. what it was doing is that, it was giving you sign, didn't you noticed it when you opened the hood all those times?NO BUT SERIOUSLY REPLACE THE CRANKS SENSOR. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP.

 

Excellent...Thank you!!

 

no problem

 

Do you know where it is located by chance?

 

are you planning on doing it yourself? it is actually towards the front of the car(radiator) under the exhaust manifold. you can use your hand and feel the wire it should brittle.

 

I will try if it is not too much trouble...I would like to save the money if possible. I will check for it there.

 

well if you have the right tools i can walk you through it

 

Would you please walk us through this? my fiancee's 2002 Sonata has the same problem.

Thanks!
