Hi,

There is an engine coolant temperature sensor and a cylinder head temperature sensor. The ECT is at the rear of the engine and the CHT sensor is mounted on the cylinder head and under the intake manifold. See pic 1.

Pic 2 shows locations for both. However, most of these only have a CHT sensor. Pic 3 gives you a better view of the CHT location. Check the area indicated in pic 2 for the coolant temperature sensor.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
