The sensor is located beneath the intake manifold. To gain access, remove the air filter and intake housing. Remove the drive belt and alternator. Unplug intake tuning connector and then beneath the intake you will see the 2-wire cylinder head temp connector and the sending unit screwed into the head. The sensor should be tested prior to removal to avoid needless replacement. If you want testing of the sensor, and replacement only if necessary, please request sensor diagnostic/replacement.
