Remove the coil covers, the air bridge, and the wires connecting to the injectors..you do not have to disconnect the fuel line.. remove the bolts holding down the intake... lift and move forward about six inches... the sensor is located about an inch from center towards the drivers side... remove the connector .... ( make sure you cover the two open intake chambers with a towel so no dirt gets in there) ... you can reuse the intake gaskets.,..remove the sensor ( 1 1/8th socket ) ... put in the new one.... torque to 15 ft lbs. ......... intake bolt torque 1st pass 44 in. lbs., second pass 89 in. lbs. Also ( very important ) there is a 1/8 black vacuum hose which becomes disconnected when you move the intake forward.. it is located about two inches from center on the passengers side up under the window cowl.. it connects to a rubber "L" shaped connector almost in the rear center of the intake.. this vacuum line controls your A/c doors... there's is a picture of the sensor location in the tech's tips.... I hope this helps..
