Re: coolant temp sensor location??
If you are asking were the timer switch for the csi is . it is on the front of the intake passengers side and is made bye Bosch. If your asking about the ecm cts it is the one under the coolant bypass hose on the front of the intake and uses a yellow and black wire. If you are asking about the coolant temp gauge sender it is in the cylinder head between cylinder 1 & 3. If your wondering what is in the passengers side cylinder head between 6&8 that is the secondary fan temp switch.
