Car Refuses To Start by Boxzyy24(op): 11:07am On Feb 04, 2019
Good morning,please I own a 2013 Hyundai Elantra automatic transmission and my car doesn't start after changing my crankshaft sensors as the old one cut,when the car is rolled from the engine,the kick start rolls the engine but it doesn't start,but when rolled with the key,it doesn't roll,just makes a kack kack kack sound,it happened after a rewire opened the fuse box,prior to that,when the engine is cold it won't start,I'll have to crank it for a while pressing the throttle before it starts and when it does it doesn't function well at all,it doesn't rev properly but when the engine heats up it starts,it happened for a while until now it doesn't start AT ALL
Please I'm confused now cause they don't know the cause of the problem as every wiring is not faulty,but they say enough light is not entering the kick start,and they say it's brainbox issue
Please help

This is a mission to reduce that car to scrap.

The crankshaft sensor failure is not uncommon with this car, and should be a simple fix.
Please get another mechanic who at least knows how to scan your car and interpret codes.

I suffered same thing with my 2009 model,nothing is wrong with your brain box, get a new crankshaft sensor and confirm that they are all plugged properly, simple. But scan first. If you need further support,call me on 08086789008
