To find the coolant temp. sensor, follow the upper radiator hose toward the engine. You will see two sensors close to the engine end of the hose. The closest one to the hose is the Dashboard Coolant Temp. Guage probe. The one closer to the engine is what you want to change. I recommend you remove the complete intake assemply and maybe even the battery so you have more room to work with. It's as simple as unscrewing the old one, and screwing the new one back in. Hope that helps.
