How to replace the back up sensor?

2001 Hyundai Accent- How to replace Camshaft Position Sensor?

• My car stalled going up a driveway, and now the car will not start. The engine will not turn over, doesn't crank. My battery is fine. I looked online and found that this camshaft sensor is a common problem on my car? How do I know if I should replace it? Would my OBD reader give me a code for this? I got nothing when I read the codes, so should I even try to replace the sensor? What's the likelihood that my starter is the problem, it's clicking, but maybe the flywheel's not engaging. What else could it be? Would appreciate any help, kinda stuck on this.

• Answer:

  Your OBD reader should be able to pick up the fault code P0340 which is related to camshaft position Sensor malfunction. This is where is located. It is very easy to replace, should this be your problem. http://hysis.hyundaicanada.com/viewer/dispimg.asp?path=/data/Passenger/HY/HMA/ENG/DTC-Images/HY-LC13-IMAGES-ENG/lc15034011.jpg If this is not the case, you might need to look at yor fuel pump (based on the description you've given). Good luck. ****EDIT**** Asking all these questions it obviously indicates me you have no repair experience. It will not be easy for you to fingd the problem however, if you think you can do it.... the fuelpump its inside the fuel tank. You can remove the rear lower setion of the seat in order to gain access to the fule pump. you need some sort of special tools to remove fuel pump cover. Best bet.. get someone else to do this job for you. Do not pump the gas pedal before you start. You are flooding the engine and it will not start.
