If you re going to replace that sensor, it is best to go in through the
bottom. Remove the sound deadening pan, look up at the bottom front of the
engine. You will find the thermostat housing (look for large coolant houses).
There is the temp sensor and a plug. To replace the sensor, you will need the
part, an o-ring, and a clip to hold the snesor in. Relieve the pressure in
the coolant system by taking off the cap on the coolant reservoir, then put
the cap back on; having the cap on reduces the amount of coolant loss when the
sensor is replaced.
If you are uncomfortable withe the procedure, consider having a mechanic do
it.

Pardon my ignorance about car stuff, but where and what is the "intake"? I'm
pretty handy
with a tool or two, but not real knowledgable about stuff under the hood.
By intake, is that cluster near where the air filter is on the passenger
side of the engine
compartment? This sounds like something I can tackle if I know what and
where to look
for.
I looked on Europarts web site and didn't see anything that lookked like a D
shaped
sensor under their exhaust and emissions section. I did cruise that site and
man are parts
for this van expensive. Glad this one is only 20 dollarsUS or so.
Thanks.
