I can't seam to find the coolant thermostat sensor on my car, as of now it keeps over heating. The fan motor is good but it wont turn on when it gets too hot then overheats.

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
