Default Re: Update I have replaced the temp sensor

What did you need to dismantle to get to the temp sensor?

How long did it take?

Any special tools?

Is the sensor located near the rear of the engine on the passenger side?

you can see the sensor on the left side blue connector, this is where is located ..
to access it, I removed completely the plastic throttle body hose down from MAF
the sensor is hold by clip which you can remove easly with flat screwdriver, and then pry out with hand the sensor, I put lot of towels around the coolant will drain but not much.. after that put new o-ring and installed the sensor and put back the clip reconnect and after that did the throttle body cleaning

I am having the same idle problem what do you use to clean the throttle body, I replaced many parts and still have this problem on thing that helped a little was replacing the serpentine idle arm tensioner but I still have a small drop in idle, thank you very much
