'85 temp sensor location?

I have an '85 trans am with a TPI engine and whenever I try to start it, the engine chokes on excessive gas and stalls immediately.
I figured I need to change the coolant temperature sensor.

Should be simple enough, but for some reason I can't locate the sensor.
Where is it located? I tried to google for location pics but I didn't find the sensor where it was in the pictures.

it is in the front of the intake next to the bosch cold start switch gm 15326386


looking at the manifold like this image the left lower is the cold start switch, right of the is the cts and above the cts is the coolant fitting for the heater core/ throttle body coolant

Thanks, I got the sensor replaced... only to realize the connector was broken - not the sensor itself..

But I think I can manage it.
