It is that little metal section in your intake piping connected directly to your air box, take it off, and look inside, you will see a set of little wires inside of a little hole, that is it.There is no AIT sensor near the intake manifold.

Coolant temp sensor is immediately behind the power steering pump just to the left of the rocker arm cover. There are 2 that you need to check, one with a 2 wire plug that goes to the gauge in your cluster, and one single wire plug that goes to the ECU to tell it wether the car is hot or cold. They sit side by side.

Since you've gotten two different answers, here's a third. On the dual cam KAs, the coolant temp sensor is mounted on the inlet pipe going into the head from the radiator. It's a 2-prong sensor. The smaller one beside it is the sending unit for the temp gauge.

R240NA is correct in that, theres a little metal tab/flap thing thats just to the right of the collant inlet on the head. Its kind of a ***** to find, but it has a rubber boot over it and is filled with dielectric grease.

You've just wasted your money. That is another little POS scam people like to run. It's supposed to tie into your intake air temp sensor, the 2-prong unit on the airbox, but it does NOTHING. Do a search, I posted a long reply about it not long ago.
