Crankshaft position sensor location?

Good evening,

I attached the only location of the crank sensor for you.

Roy

Roy, I thank you very so much. It wasn't easy getting it out due to the fact there was hardly any space. This is the first time i have ever touched a Kia vehicle. I prefer Chevrolet, Honda, Toyota. Anyways, in this v6 motor, how come i am only seeing three frontal spark plugs? Where are the other three located? Please respond ASAP. thank you. God bless.

The other three are at the back toward the firewall.

Roy

Sigh. Why they had to make this one so difficult. Will i have to take anything off in order to get to it?

Just very tight.

Roy

I hope you don't mind me bothering one more time. ust one more question. When one hears a noise of slipping and grinding of metal a few seconds after starting car, is that the breaking down noise of my starter?

It is possible.

Can you upload a video of the noise so I can hear what you hear?

Roy

Well, i asked that way because i kept hearing it until a month ago. Car engine wants to start but it doesn't now. I did the video, i hope you get it.

Not yet.

Roy

I had sent it right after the message you responded to. If you haven't received it, is there another way to send it to you?

That's the starter.

Roy

Yea, i felt it was. thank you for confirming it. Also, thanks lots for having this website and helping people. All of you guys ROCK! 8-)

You're welcome

Always glad to help

Roy

Okay. Great. Then guess what? I am back, lol.
Now, a new thing arose.
After replacing crankshaft sensor and starter, it turned on. Yay, i am driving again. but now engine light came back on. I checked it, it said distributor or one of my two camshaft sensor is bad. Please, need ur advice, replace what? One or both sensors? Or distributor?
If it is sensors, please include picture of locations. 8-) Thanks.
And i gotta say, these sensors are the priciest ones i have ever seen. Cheez wiz! P.S: there is a light knock in engine, which is the best oil treatment for that?

What are the code numbers?

Roy

Sending picture of report.

Okay, I posted a description of the code and possible issues.

This sounds like a harness issue.

Roy

General Description
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is a sensor that detects the compression TDC of the NO. 1 cylinder. The CMPS consists of a hall type sensor and a target on the end of the intake camshaft. When the target triggers the sensor, the sensor voltage is 5 V. If not, the sensor voltage is 0 V. These CMPS signals are sent to the ECM and the ECM uses the CMPS signal for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors.

Okay, so, i should change both sensors? Right? Because if i just change one, the other will eventually fail after.

Try it and see.

My other concern is the timing chain. If it has slack from wear, the cam and crank sensor may not line up correctly and this code will set.

Roy

So you are saying that if the belt is bad the code will never go away? But which belt might that be? Okay, there is two small covers on side of engine, passenger side. One front, one back. I already had checked the front one, there's no wear or tear (like new). Should i check the other one?
Note: i had gotten this car last year in March. I am second owner. The engine seemed to be repaired before so I don't think any of the belts are originals.

It is the timing belt, not the external belts.

They wear and the marks go off center and could set the code. The engine could still run but the light will be on until the alignment of the marks is corrected.
