In trying to reset my "SENSOR" idiot light, I assumed it needed an O2 sensor, so I replaced it and disconnected the battery for an hour. After reconnecting the battery, I started the car and the light still wont go off... So, I looked in my manual and discovered the light is activated every 30k... and can be disabled by unplugging a connection under the dash. I did so, and the dagone thing still glows... so, I ran a self-diagnosis on the computer, and the code came up as 4 red, 1 green (fuel temperature sensor). So, where is this sensor and where can I get a new one? The car runs fine (skips now and then, but otherwise fine).

Thanks! -Brandon

I believe the fuel temp sensor is located in the very front of the motor on the fuel pressure rebulator, just look at the fuel lines up front and look for the wire the hooks onto a small sensor at the base fo the regulator

it is located on the fuel pressure regulator, however that sensor will not cause the sensor light to come on.
