There are dozens of sensors. Which one are you referring to and what problem are you trying to solve?

You also need to specify the model of the car.

The coolant temperature sensor is under the thermostat housing, left rear of the engine.
Intake air temperature sensor is in the fresh air tube leading to the throttle body assembly.

Here is a drawing from Mitchell ProDemand showing the other sensors.
