Hi,

This vehicle uses a cylinder head temperature sensor. It is located under the intake manifold. To replace the sensor, the intake manifold needs to be removed.

I attached directions below to help. The first pics are the basic directions for sensor replacement. The remaining pics are directions to remove the intake. Note: There is an upper and lower intake manifold. The upper will need to be removed first.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Take care,

Joe
