I searched this forum and i couldnt find any answer related to my problem. So here goes: I have a 2000 Elantra with approx 63,000 mi.
The car cranks but no start. The only time it will start if i spray starting fluid. Then it will start up fine, and the motor idles perfectly smooth. I have NGK platinum sparkplugs(still good). I checked the resistence of the spark plug wires the longest wire (2.975Kohm) and the shortest is about 7 inches long (1.450kOhm). This is a distributorless ignition system. Fuel injectors are working fine. And there are sparks at the plugs. There are no check engine light. :banghead:
TIA.

Having the same problem. It is 4 degrees here and when cranking over I have no injector pulse. Plugs are good and I have spark. I also have no power to the injectors.

I'm getting injector pulse, and good spark, I'm beginning to think its the crank position sensor.
"Having the same problem. It is 4 degrees here and when cranking over I have no injector pulse. Plugs are good and I have spark. I also have no power to the injectors."
When cranking, does your motor seems like it want to start but it can't?

Sounds like you need a fuel pump. If you have spark and injector pulse your crank sensor is working.

Problem fixed. I located a new crankshaft position sensor. This is a 2.0L distributorless ignition motor. Part #39180-23500. The part # is also engraved in the sensor itself. This is the correct part for this particular engine/ecm. I purchased this other sensor part # 39180-23000. And the car crank but no start.
I replaced the crank position sensor because when its cold the car will start up and run fine. but as soon as i turn of the car(warmed-up). It will not start up at all. Until i remove the crank sensor and spray it down with brake cleaner and the car will start up again.

I have a similar problem and believe it is my crank shaft sensor. Can someone tell me where it is located on the engine. And if there are any tricks in replacing it?
