My Optima stopped running while I was driving to the family Christmas...it was actually lucky for me that I had family close by and a car trailer.
The sensor is inside the timing belt compartment on the left side of the engine as viewed from the front of your car. You have to remove the lower cover to see the sensor. I've attached a pic, which was taken from right front tire point of view. The pully in the lower left is the cranckshaft. The pic was taken after I removed the sensor. If you do this yourself, be careful. The sensors are real easy to crack if not installed carefully. Once they crack, they usually don't work. Good luck.
