Auto Parts: 1996 Hyundai Accent, crankshaft position sensor, hyundai accent


Question
I have a basic 1996 Hyundai Accent SOHC, the engine light came on and soon there after i started having problems turning on the car, it sounded like it wanted to start but wouldn't turn over. eventually i went and had the engine light checked and was told that the codes came up for a Crankshaft position sensor and an oxygen sensor (before the catalytic converter). my questions are do you think changing the crankshaft position sensor will solve my problem and start my car and where is it located at??

Answer
Hi Israel,

""Starts but wouldn't turn over?""

Please explain how it can start but not turn over.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
