Been having problems with gettin my car to run still... as in it still floods, but the computer is not throughing codes... Ive heard that the coolant sensor might be a good one to change... since this car is at 280k, its prolly needing it. Anyways, i want to make sure im takin out the right coolant sensor. Say im following the upper radiator hose, it goes into the intake manifold, and the coolant temp sensor is the one thats right there in the manifold... right? a pic or something might help me out, as i cant find a good picture in the FSM i have on my computer. someone reply witha good answer soon please, I CANT WAIT TO GET THIS GIRL RUNNIN

PS, ive already done the search as well...

The sensor measures the hot coolant. Hot coolant enters the top of the radiator. They are right on the front beside each other, where the upper radiator hose connects. The bigger one, with two prongs is the one you care about. It's gold colored with probably red plastic. It's also closer to where the hose connects. Part #22630-51E02
