ISSUE RESOLVED: Changed Crank Position Sensor
Car:
2000 Accent
1.5 SOHC 12V
Manual Tran.
Problem:
Car will not start when engine is warm, waiting for engine to cool(20-25 min) will usually resolve the issue.
So, over the last 2-3 months the car has been acting as above, Ie drive to the mall, shop, come out, car wont start. For the first little while simpley jumping it would allow the car to start (wouldnt start from the push but afterward the car would start with key) then it would be fione for the rest of the day/ couple of days. this has been getting worse as of late and now jpush starts dont help at all, only waiting would work then the car again would start fine for the rest of the day.
Recently (yesturday) i had the car out and it did its typical no starting after being driven, waiting my 30 mins or so, started it fine again, however this time i only got about 1 mile and the car quit in traffic, something its never done before, after sitting in traffic for about 20 mins it fired back up and again i only got about 1-2 miles when it quit again, luckily i was smart and took the less traveled roads just in case. this time i decided to test for spark, which there was none from either of the coils (tested all 4 plugs).
After reading this forum fairly thoroughly i have a couple of idea's as what it could be but am uncertain as to what to try because the other problems are different as to when the car start, most people seem to be having trouble when the engine is cold, whereas mine will fire no problem the first time everytime, no matter the outside temp or weather conditions.
After speaking with a local mechanic team (they do a T.V show here) they suggest to replace the Coil packs and possibley check the wiring harness as it comes over the tranny, however mines doesnt come over the tranny, but anyway.
Basically is it possible for the CKP(crank pos sensor) to be intermittent like that (ive asked a few peoiple that said when they get bad there is no intermittent stuff just no fire at all) and or the same question for the coil packs.
I am open to any other suggestions you may have, i just dont want to buy parts i may not have too due to the prices in question (100 each for the 2 coil packs, 145 for the CKP both prices taken from the cheapest store i could find here.)
As a side note where is the ecu located in these (havent looked yet) incase i can get my hands on a scanner somehow.
Thanks in advance
