Coolant Temp. Sensor location

I am getting a code for the coolant temp. sensor need to know where it is located on my 86. The Haynes manual says it is located somewhere on the front of the engine on the driver side, real vague desciption :rolleyes: . Anyone got a pic or a better description because there are severl sensors in that area that I can see. Thanks.

On my '85 it's almost directly under the TPS and IAC motor. If I remember right it's mounted in the intake manifold. It's about the size of your MAT sensor.

Yep... same plug type as the MAT sensor, right next to another sensor that tells your Cold Start Injector to turn on which has a harness clip on n it that looks like a fuel injector clip.
