Here is a video of the job of replacement. Hyundai Crankshaft Position Sensor Replace Timing Belt Replace 2 4 Liter...

The 2.4 L engine has a timing belt & a balance belt. They should be replaced every 60,000 miles or every 5 years (whichever comes first). During belt replacement, the tensioner should be inspected for proper operation. If it's leaking grease or has collapsed, it must be replaced.

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.

YOU NEED A CHILTON REPAIR MANUAL.BECAUSE YOU NEED SPANNER WRENCH AND A LIST OF INSTRUCTION HOW TO REMOVE AND INSTALL THE TIMING BELT.I BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 23 YEARS I NEVER TACKLE ANY TIMING BELTS OR CHAINS WITH OUT A REPAIR MANUAL.REPAIR MANUAL IS A MECHANIC ROAD MAP LOST WITH OUT IT.SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TIMING BELT TENSIONER LOOSEN THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER BOLT.INSTALL TIMING BELT ON THE CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET AND WHILE KEEPING THE BELT TIGHT ON THE TENSION SIDE ( RIGHT SIDE ) INSTALL THE BELT ON THE FRONT CAMSHAFT SPROCKET.INSTALL THE BELT ON THE WATER PUMP PULLEY THEN THE REAR CAMSHAFT SPROCKET AND THE TENSIONER.ROTATE THE FRONT CAMSHAFT COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO TENSION THE BELT BETWEEN THE FRONT CAMSHAFT AND THE CRANKSHAFT.IF THE TIMING MARKS BECAME MISALIGNED REPEAT THE PROCEDURE.INSTALL THE CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET FLANGE.LOOSEN THE TENSIONER BOLT AND ALLOW THE SPRING TO TENSION THE BELT.TURN THE CRANKSHAFT 2 FULL TURNS IN THE CLOCKWISE DIRECTION ONLY UNTIL THE TIMING MARKS ALIGN AGAIN.NOW THAT THE BOLT IS PROPERLY TENSIONED TORQUE THE TENSIONER LOCK BOLT TO 21 FT LBS.

U uvicasion del crank shaft position sensor

well the main two problams that i can think is eiether the sensor is out of place or its just no good

Which engine? 4 cylinder (2.4 lit) or V6 (2.7 lit)? Two different procedures as well as different belts. The 4 cylinder also has a balance belt. See next image:

Here's the 2.7 V6 belt:


The replacement procedure is nearly the same at the start (removing, accy drive belts, pullys, support engine & remove front engine mount, remove T.B covers, disconnect Cam Position Sensor & Crank Position Sensor connectors, etc.). When you get to this point on the V6, you also have to remove the front engine mounting bracket from the front of the engine (4 14mm bolts, also a 12mm bolt which bolts the dipstick tube to the side of it) Put crank shaft at TDC (top dead center w/ALL timing marks aligned) remove hydraulic tensioner (2 12 mm bolts), then remove the belt. You'll need to recompress the hydraulic (auto) tensioner in a vise and insert a retaining pin through the pin-holes at the top (through the tensioner piston) to keep it compressed when you reinstall it. Otherwise, you won't be able to install it. Assembly is reverse order of dissassembly. Inspect your pullys while you're in there (check for pully bearing noise, leaking grease, smooth rotation, also the water pump pully, etc.) Replace components as needed. Careful not to damage Crankshaft Position Sensor wire harness.

The 4 Cylinder is quite different. You not only change the timing belt, but also the countershaft (balance) belt, which is behind the crank position sensor blade. IMPORTANT: ALL TIMING MARKS ALIGNED BEFORE REMOVING ANYTHING) There are two (2) counter-shafts (balance shafts). one driven by the timing belt, the other by the crankshaft sprocket behind the timing belt sprocket at the front of the crankshaft.

crank shaft sensor don't normally go bad on hyundai.do you have a code for this?and what is the complaint?on the v-6 its behind the timing belt.next to the crankshaft gear.on the 4 cyl. its on the front of the block below exh. manifold. and easy to remove.

1.Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprockets (on the front and rear sides) and the crankshaft sprocket (At the top dead center position of the No.1 cylinder compression stroke.)
2.Route the timing belt on the crankshaft sprocket, then onto the rear camshaft sprocket.
3.Run the timing belt onto the water pump pulley, the front
camshaft sprocket and the timing belt tensioner.
4.Apply force counterclockwise to the rear camshaft sprocket with tension on the tight side of the belt, check that the timing marks are all aligned.
5.Install the flange.
6.Back off the fixing bolts of the temporarily tightened tensioner one or two turns and tighten the timing belt with the tensioner spring force specified.
7.Using the special tool (09231-33100), turn the crankshaft two turns in the normal rotating direction (clockwise).
NOTE
Turn smoothly, only in a clockwise direction.
8. Readjust the sprocket timing marks and re-tighten the tensioner locking bolts.
9. Measure the belt tension with a belt tension gauge as shown in
the illustration.
Tension force . . . . . . . . . . . . . 260-380 N (57-84 Ibs.)
(New)
CAUTlON
Position the hooks in the tooth bottoms and apply the spindle to the back of the belt.
10. As the mounting bolts of the timing cover are different in size according to location, be sure to locate them .
