Crankshaft sensor fails only when hot on a 1998 Hyundai tiburon 2.0?

The sensor is kind of like a coil and when heated up expands. when expanded the sensor is not on the correct timing mark therefor will not start. when cooled down coil will shrink down and be on the correct timing spot and start right up. i had the exact problem with mine, your gunna need a new crank shaft positioning senor... not very expensive or hard to do yourself, just watch out if you do it yourself you could mess up the timing which will cause more problems that will not be cheap!!!

What can cause a crankshaft position sensor to go bad?
Just like a old TV Wear and tear, gets old then fails. The sensor stops building voltage potential
Would a harmonic balance cause a crankshaft position sensor to go bad for a 2004 KIA optima?
I don't think so since its purpose is to balance and cancel vibration. It is mounted on the opposite end of the engine. Usually the crankshaft sensor fails because of oil contaminating on the sensor. Difference in temperature with the oil causes the sensor to malfunction intermittently.
What happens when a crankshaft sensor is defected?
as the crank spins around there is a magnet on it, and the sensor pics up a signal off of it to detect that the crank is in motion. If the sensor fails it will not send a signal to the computor, and that will cause the ignition system to shut down, so you will not have spark.
Does a crankshaft position sensor on a 2004 dodge durango have a backup system default mode that will allow the engine to continue to run for a short period of time?
Normally if the crank sensor fails while running,the engine can keep running with just a working camshaft sensor.
What does the crankshaft sensor do on a Vectra B?
Same as all other cars, it senses crankshaft angle so that the engine control module can apply spark to the fuel at a precise time to achieve full combustion with minimal emissions. there's usually also a camshaft sensor, and many vehicles will use the camshaft sensor if the crankshaft sensor fails to provide limited functionality (limp home mode). If its dead, you'll have to replace it for the engine to operate properly. I don't know if your vehicle has any mileage limits on limp-home mode.
Can a faulty oxygen sensor cause a loss of power on a 2001 Hyundai santa fe?
Yes since car will go into limp mode, but if one fails completely, they usually throw a code
What do you do if your idle speed sensor fails?
replace it
Where is the crankshaft position sensor on a 97 Honda CRV?
The CKP looks like a small gear with long teeth located inside the distributor housing. If the CKP fails, unfortunately you must replace the entire distributor housing.
How do you replace the front headlights on a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon?
CHECK THE OWNERS MANUAL. IT HAS A DETAILED EXPLINATION. HOWEVER, IF ALL ELSE FAILS, TO REPLACE BULBS/ REMOVE HEADLIGHTS, LOOSEN THREE BOLTS, SOME ARE HIDDEN BY FRONT PLASTIC UNDERHOOD PIECE. TAKE LIGHT OUT. TWIST BULB. SIMPLE.
Is there a way to test the crankshaft sensor on a 97 Ford Taurus?
You can either use a multimeter or a lab scope. When using a multimeter check the 12 volts from the battery at the connector then take the sensor out and check the resistance from the sensor's pins. Check the specs from the manufacturer. Although a correct spec does not necessarily means the sensor is good. This sensor normally fails when they are hot and not when they are cold. The advantage of using a lab scope is that you can test the sensor while the car is hot and running and by seeing the wave
Is there a health risk when your oxygen sensor fails?
Yeah, you can't beath.
What happens when the throttle position sensor fails?
engine will proberly only idle
