Ugh, I can't find it, if anybody has a pic or a diagram or a good description... I think it is at the back of the engine...

Default In the coolant pipe near the back of the head

At least that's where it's on my 2.8.

Default I do...

#5 is the temp sensor. It's blue, or black I think. Look for it between the firewall and the cylinder head. The sensor is in a metal coolant pipe (#2). Don't forget to replace the O-ring (#3).

I'd bet #4 is the sensor and #5 is the electrical connector

Default Doh!

I can't properly count! ;-)

Yes, #5 is the connector, but it's the part he has to find in order to find the sensor.
