Hi,

The fresh air intake needs to be removed. (See pic 1) Once that is off, the sensor is located under it. (See pic 2)

Pic 3 is very vague directions from the manual.

Here is a link you may find helpful in addition to the directions:

Take a look at the pics and let me know if they help.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

Take a look at this pic. I am so sorry that I sent the info for the 2.7L. Here is what I'm showing for the 3.3L.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,
