you have 3. One is your ACT in your intake runner, the other 2 are in coolant. One in the heater hard lines is your ECT for your computer and the other in your intake (one wire) is for your gauge.

The ACT(air charge temp sensor) is in runner #5 in the lower intake
The ECT(engine cooltant temp sensor) is in the heater hard lines
The temp gauge sending unit is in the lower intake, driverside, one wire.

What is wrong? Run your codes, that will tell you if the sensors are good.

Default RE: Temp Sensor(s)

ok my problem is when the car reaches operation temp it startsto act like it's surging or missfiring (only when warm). It's doing it at idle &accelerating it just came out the blue ok i've took it to two Shops the last shop said it's itermediate or something like that. I've changed the 02 sensors, Coolant sensor, Air charge sensor almost forgot, wires, plugs, cap & rotor, ignition module, & coil.

I'm taking all suggestions,thanx for listening well reading

Take your ignition module off your dizzy and get it checked at auto zone, also be sure to put new dielectric grease behind it when you reinstall it.

Also, you coil may be going bad...might not be a bad time to upgrade.
