If the car starts sometimes even after replacing the crank shaft position sensor, it could be a problem with the starting system or a malfunctioning component.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the battery. A weak or faulty battery can cause starting problems. You can check the battery by testing the voltage with a multimeter or by having it tested at an auto parts store.
Check the starter. The starter is responsible for turning the engine over when the key is turned. If the starter is not functioning properly, it can cause starting problems. You can check the starter by having a mechanic diagnose and repair any issues that may be present.
Check the ignition switch. The ignition switch is responsible for providing power to the starter when the key is turned. If the ignition switch is not functioning properly, it can cause starting problems. You can check the ignition switch by having a mechanic diagnose and repair any issues that may be present.
Check the wiring and connectors. If there is a problem with the wiring or connectors in the starting system, it could cause starting problems. Check the wiring and connectors for any loose, damaged, or corroded wires. Make sure all connections are secure and free of any visible damage.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

No start problem.

Hyundai Accent 2001 Hatchback 146000 miles
I bought the car after it has been sitting for a year. Put a new ignition coil and battery and it started right up. Ran ok for a couple days. Now it won't start. I put new plugs and wires, cam shaft and crank shaft sensors, fuel filter and fuel pump. I don't hear the fuel pump engaging and I have check all fuses. I am at a loss, any ideas would be appreciated.

Jerks, power loss, stalls

Hyundai Accent 2000  138000 miles
I had to make a long trip with my vehicle and it was a real torture. It was not able to climb slopes, stalled every now and then, jerked and even consumed way too much fuel. The IAC valve, coil, spark plugs and its wiring and both the crankshaft and camshaft sensors had previously been replaced. All the new pieces were original ones, so the mechanic did not understand what was happening. After that, I asked him to show me all the vehicle's contacts, bought an electrical contact cleaner and proceded to clean one by one. Since then, the car has been working without any problems.

Won't get gas unless you depress clutch pedal

Hyundai Accent 2000 sedan/1.5L MFI SOHC 142000 miles
Was driveing down the freeway and it just stopped. Have found that gas is not comeint to the motor unless the clutchis depressed. I replaced the coil packs thinking that was the deal since it just shut down. A freind is suggesting that it could be the crankshaft position senser but I'm not sure about that.
