I’m not positive where this part is on the engine, I haven’t had any luck searching for It online, I believe it’s under all these plugs you can see in the photo.

Edit: I tried to upload a photo, and video that says it fails but on the right side of the engines there a few plus and switched for the engine, and from what I read I believe it’s under most of them for the coolant temperature sensor. That I’m trying to replace... Would love to be confirmed. Thank you!

The engine coolant sensor is near the lower radiator hose as it connects to the engine, also, there is another temperature sensor of the radiator cooling fan which is near the top of the radiator on the backside. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
