First remove all. Power-steering pump 3 bolts on cylinder head. Loosen the alternator. remove the two belts. Underneath the car. remove black wheel arch plastic cover (6 or 7screws) Loosen the air con pump tension-er pully. Remove belt. put a trolley jack under engine as the mounting needs to be removed and lift the engine slightly. Remove the engine mounting bolts next to the black cam belt cover and remove the mounting. Loosen the Main crank shaft pulley. Normally very tight put a power bar and socket on. engine turns forward so let the bar rest on X member and turn the key only so that the engine turns. do not start. Remove cam belt covers (comes in to parts - top and bottom) then loosen the tension pulley which is on the left. 1 x bolt in middle. remove cam belt. now the tricky part. Replace the bottom crack pulley. turn so that the marks are lining up. the cam pulley has got a small hole in turn the hole upward to the top of engine. there is a small dot on the cylinder head which can be seen through the hoe. line up. replace idle pulley on the right. replace tension pulley on the left. put new belt on and now to tension the belt. take a number 5 or 6 allen key and turn the tension er clock wise until its like a watch at 10 min to the hour. tighten the bolt. test belt with fingers. if belt to loose you will feel the belt move easily. belt must not be to hard when pressed. try to turn the belt with fingers half a turn if going passed the halfway mark tighten some more. Use power bar and ensure engine turns properly meaning two or three full turns with hands without it getting stuck. otherwise the valve and piston is toughing. if so do crank turn of 180 degrease. free turn again. should be right. replace all that was taken off. start car. if belt tension is to tight you will hear a signing sound.

Timing belt replacement interval

My rule of thumb for Timing belts:
replace at 60,000 miles, and every 40,000 miles thereafter. Having said that, I often let
cars go until the timing belt starts showing signs of wear (usually every 50K - 75K miles)

But www.autozone.com (register free at www.autozone.com) is recommending for your
car driving in "severe driving conditions" (aka normal stop-start driving) that your 2000 Sonata
have:
60,000 miles - replace
90,000 miles - inspect for wear
120,000 miles - replace
150,000 miles - inspect for wear

The 155 page owners manual (I found one at the link below - you may prefer to try Hyundai)
makes no mention of the timing belt at all.

I can't find the location of the crankshaft postion sensor in my 2000 Hyundai sonata

My online Sonata manual shows these possibilities, but does not identify which applies specifically to 2000 Sonata.
Also, when you talk to the dealership parts counter, you'll need to know whether your 2000 Sonata is (a) 4-cylinder 2.4L MFI DOHC engine, or (b) 6-cylinder 2.5L MFI DOHC engine.
Its easy to tell - just count your spark plug wires.

-- begine excerpt from 2000 Hyundai Sonata Repair guide --

The crankshaft position sensor is located next to the flywheel.
The crankshaft position sensor is located next to the flywheel/torque converter.
The camshaft position sensor is located on the engine near the timing belt cover and under the upper radiator hose.
The crankshaft position sensor is located on the driver-s side of the vehicle, down by the lower radiator hose.
The crankshaft position sensor is located on the engine near the crankshaft pulley.
The crankshaft position sensor is located at the front of the engine near the timing belt.
