- Intermittently the car would not start, it will crank over but not fire. No trouble codes, and an occasional stall when stopped. So I’m replacing the crankshaft position sensor (KPS.) Not sure if this will fix the problem but for under $80 it’s worth a shot. This is to a 3.3L CDI Hyundai Santa Fe 2013. Update: this has fixed the problem. The crankshaft position sensor was causing the no start and stall.
One of the best automotive DIY vids made with step by step discussion 🎉
After fighting to get the female end off, I struggled to get the screw off. After an hour and a half, I completed the job with much frustration and busted knuckles 🤣😬😭. But I saved $400 dollars 🙌🙌. Thanks for the video.
P.S. I need to update my tools 😞🤣
Best mechanic repair video I've seen in decades. Great job!!!
An awesome video, and exactly what I was looking for for a change. My wife’s car had the exact same symptoms with the random stalling, the fail to start, and the intermittent tachometer stopping. Really appreciate the time you took to make such a well presented video. Great job, sir.
Thank you. I was scratching my head on this one for sure.
As a follow-up, changed out the sensor and for a month now not 1 hiccup!! Runs perfectly again. Again, Thanks for the time
Thanks a ton! No one else has a video like this for my make and model vehicle. You are the best
Glad it helped
Great video, well explained, I would be doing this on my 2009 as soon as the sensor arrives from Amazon. I stopped at a gas station to get gas and my car died and the check engine light came on and when I checked it with my scan tool it said the Crankshaft position sensor so I ordered one. It's a lot cheaper on Amazon than the local parts store
True. Good luck! And thanks for the kind comments!
Where is the camshaft sensor on this motor? Loved your video
thank you for this video sir!
excelente video y explicacion. me funciono como anillo al dedo. lo hice por mi cuenta y la reparacion salio excelente. muchas gracias y bendiciones
This was a great video....
Great video
Thanks to you dude.. .
Thanks dad!
I hope this is still monitored… My check engine light came on… Went to the dealership for my 2013 Santa Fe 6 passenger limited … They said the code p0018 & one other code popped up … Also they said it would cost me $4,400 to fix … I need help please.. The suv never stalled & runs fine..
Hello Sir @thegreek2640,
I have the same code p0018 and engine runs fine on 2015 Santa Fe v6 limited. Were you able to resolve your issue? What would be the remedy?
Not sure if this video is still monitored for comments, but I am trying this on a 2013 Elantra and can't get that upper plug clip disconnected. Is removing the battery completely the step I am missing or is there another trick for the Elantra? Thank you very much for any information!!!
Michael Reed I can’t speak for that car directly, but most Hyundai plugs require two steps to open them. On a lot of them they require a little plastic clip shaped like a C to be pulled back or opened, then the main part is typically pushed inward down and then the plug can come back.
On one of these the plug was also just stuck in the connector very tight it took me a while to get out.
@@Daddoesstuffforfun Thanks for the reply, the plug on mine is in such a tight place I can't get my hand into it, so after I remove the battery I am hoping for more room to work in. Thanks again!
Michael Reed good luck. Hope it all works out
Great video, Thank you so much

Ryan, I have a 2015 3.3 that has the random stalling at a stop, occasional not wanting to start cranking & cranking. Usually it will start right away like nothing is wrong, every once in a while it will crank & crank. Also every so often when it restarts the tach is not working at all. On the times when it cranks and doesn't start I would fog starting fluid in the airbox and it would start immediately. That lead me to believe it was fuel or fuel pump related but after seeing this maybe not. The reason I am curious is it sounds like your symptoms were very similar to mine. Now my wife is refusing to drive it as now it has finally stalled on her when moving at 70 mph on the freeway causing some tense moments. Will you please expand a bit on the stalling or whatever issues you were having and if the crank sensor did the trick.? Thank you very much.
So first, yes the crank sensor did fix my problem. The Sralls would only happen when stopped. Sometimes I could feel the engine chug at speed but it was rare. Never stalled at speed. Most of the time I would go to crank and it would crank for about 5 seconds and stop with no start. It would do that sometimes 3 times in a row, and then, it would fire up as soon as I hit the button just seconds later! That was the baffling thing about it. I had a friend recently in a completely different car have a problem with their catalytic converter being clogged which would occasionally stall the car out somewhere and prevent it from starting. But that is not related to the problem that I had with the crankshaft position sensor.
@@Daddoesstuffforfun Update.. New Crank Sensor fixed all issues and it was a DIY project for $45.00 plus an hour labor vs. the "Stealership" quoting $700.00 for the exact same fix. Thanks again for the video.
Oh, forgot to mention about my original diagnosis of being fuel related instead of spark related. I researched and learned that the crank sensor also signals the injectors when to fire so spark and fuel are both triggered from the same crank sensor.
@@curtislamb7341 awesome!!! I love it when a plan comes together! Thanks for the extra info. I never thought that would also fire the injectors but it makes perfect sense.
@@curtislamb7341 you described the exact issue that just started for me. Tach not working, cranks and doesnt start. Then it will start fine after turning it off and back on. Can you please send me the link to crankshaft position sensor you purchased? I have the 2014 santa fe 2.0t. We may have different sensor locations if you have the 2.4L version. Thanks!!!
@nick2727 hey, did you try that fix and did it work? Same problem and same car. 2014 2.4L santa fe sport awd
sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you know where I can find the crankshaft position sensor in a 2014 hyundai santa fe. I have been looking for this sensor for 4 hours. I saw your video but 2014 does not have the sensor in the same location???
Harley Pereira sorry I don’t. The models are very confusing. I know one of them was supposed to be up front behind the serpentine belt assembly, I think it was actually under the timing belt cover. They are not in great places are easy to find, I was so happy when I found mine I made this video ha ha!
@@derekclanton9509 I believe it was about $130 for the sensor. Wasn’t crazy hard to replace just in a tight spot give yourself about an hour to be safe. It got rid of the “won’t start” problem I was having.
Can you please share the link and part number of the sensor you purchased?
Awesome video!
Did it fix your car?
Yes this was my fix
warm greetings from hyundai INDONESIA lovers. Hopefully a lot of benefits from our activities
Do these have more than 1 camshaft position sensors? Bank 2?
This particular model only had one I can’t speak for others though.
Did this work for your car?
So far yes! It’s been about 3 weeks and no issues. Starts every time.and before it was happening about twice a week.
@@Daddoesstuffforfun Thanks for the update! We have a 2013 Santa Fe Sport that just put us through hell! So far this year we've had to replace the engine, catalytic converter and a slew of sensors. After all that, the car started stalling and cutting out. I ran across your video and showed it to my husband and he got right on it this weekend replacing ours. So far, so good! Thanks so much for sharing your repair!
SJ Watson there was definitely a problem with this sensor between certain years I believe they did a recall on it, 2013 was not affected but Hyundai admits the sensors become unreliable after 100k miles. Good luck hope it’s one less headache for you.
@@Daddoesstuffforfun I saw that somewhere, too. I was starting to allow myself to hope and then after I saw your video and your reply, I felt better. It's only been 4 days but the car hasn't stalled yet. It's running MUCH better. I'm going to stay positive on this one.
SJ Watson and on mine the dealer checked the sensor and they said it was fine. But when the transmission got hot it started to not start and stall. (Because the sensor is mounted on the transmission.)
