I am not a mechanic, but I am trying to replace the sensor. Need details or illustration as to its location.

Hi,

The cylinder head temperature sensor (CHT) is located under the intake manifold. It requires the removal of the manifold. Basically, a simple job has turned into a major job.

I attached the directions below. Pica 1-4 are for the sensor once the manifold is removed. The remaining pictures are for the removal of the lower manifold. Take a look and let me know if you are comfortable performing them or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
