Need help finding camshaft position sensor

you need a proper scan tool and do a crankshaft camshaft corellation allignment.

Here's a link to a repair guide on your camshaft position sensor. GET 35 GIFT CARD FOR EVERY 100 SPENT ON ONLINE SHIP TO HOME ORDERS Here's another link to what the sensor look's like. GET 35 GIFT CARD FOR EVERY 100 SPENT ON ONLINE SHIP TO HOME ORDERS

Here is the location:

checked the spark plug wires if is cracked P0340 is no cam signalat the PCM is. The camshaft position sensor information, along with the crankshaft position sensor information, is used control the fuel injection synchronization. The excess heat from the catalytic converter indicatesunburned fuel going out the exhaust. The catalytic converteris designed to burn any fuelleft in the exhaust. It sounds like your injectors are definitely out of sync dumping raw fuel out the exhaust. Since youreplaced the both the sensors and the PCM, it sounds like a wiring problem betweenone of the sensors and the PCM. Always use a digital multi-meter so you don't blow the PCM. Pull the cam sensor connector and check, with the key on, for about 8VDC on the orange wire (power from the PCM), and put the negative lead on the black/light blue wire (ground.) If you get about 8 volts both of those 2 wires are good. That just leaves thetan/yellow wire (sensor signal.) The signal should fluctuate 0 to 5 volts as the cam notches pass the sensor. To check the wire you would have to probe this wire at the PCM with all the connections put together, key on, and engine rotating (either by hand or with the starter.) The crank sensor wiring could be checked basically the same way. Overheating the cayalytic converter can cause the ceramic beads inside of it to crack, requiring replacement. Don't overheat the converters if you can help it. Turning the key on with a sensor unplugged will usually set an OBD code that will need to be cleared. It sounds like your on the right track. Let us know how it goes. P0340 Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit P0344 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent
With a P0340 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:

• Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit
• Check for continuity in the circuit wiring
• Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor
• Replace the camshaft position sensor as required
• Check the crankshaft position circuit as well
• Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required
• Diagnose/replace the PCM as required

Hello first of all


well i am sorry a mechanic cant figure this out its really sad. ok so your problem is your either one of two things but most likely the first one i list.

1. camshaft postion sensor
2. crankshaft postion sensor

Now that being said it most likely the camshaft sensor the reason i say that is when a crankshaft postion sensor is bad the car has very hard starts and most of the time no start issues. When a camshaft postion sensor is bad the car cuts off whil driving and can be hard to start up again.

So that being said they are both pretty cheap parts i would go ahead and replace them both and i would bet my 5 years as ford mechanic that solves your issue.

The crank postion sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer pully or right beside it here is a picture from autozone.com and description.

The crankshaft position sensor identifies position of the crankshaft to the ignition control module (ICM), engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM).

When not replaced, vehicle could experience no- or hard start, long crank time, misfire, lack of power, excessive hydrocarbons in oil, spark plug fouling, catalytic converter failure, poor fuel economy, CEL/MIL illumination or intermittent shutdown.

Designed to meet or exceed OE specifications in form, fit and function.

And the camshaft sensor picture and info from autozone.com below.

The camshaft position sensor identifies position of the camshaft to the ignition control module (ICM), engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM).

When not replaced, vehicle could experience no- or hard start, long crank time, misfire, lack of power, excessive hydrocarbons in oil, spark plug fouling, catalytic converter failure, poor fuel economy, CEL/MIL illumination or intermittent shutdown.

The crankshaft postion sensor is 22.99 and the cam is 19.99 so 50.00 bucks and about hours time should have you up and running.

PS if this helps please 4 thumbs up it helps me continue to help on here thanks

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.

--- end excerpt from 2000 Hyundai Sonata repai guide ---

The crank sensor is on the lower rear side of the block.

On 1995 and later models the CKP is located at the rear of the engine near the transaxle bell housing.

Most likely yes. It's not that the cam is out of position (that's controlled by the timing belt, so as long as the belt hasn't slipped, the cam is where it should be). What's more likely is that the cam sensor has gone bad, as you're suggesting, and it's not able to tell the computer the position of the cam, or it's telling the computer that the cam is in a position that the computer knows it can't be.

Replace the cam sensor and you'll be fine.

hi
there isn't any sensor have a name ( ignition position sensor )
there is:-
crankshaft position sensor
camshaft position sensor
throttle position sensor

but there is ( ignition sensor ) locate in engine room beside the
ignition coil it was send the ignition coil signal
feedback to the (ECU)

re ask for any information

WITH MY BEST WISHES
