It is below the lower intake manifold. so, the upper and lower intake will need to be removed, start, by disconnecting the battery and draining the engine coolant. Also, once the intake is off because it does not allow any dirt or debris to enter the intake runners. Here is how to do the job and the location of the engine coolant sensor in the images below.
