I am so excited it started! My sons car and he is just learning about cars. Now the problem is we are looking for the air cooling sensor, because the fan for the radiator is not working. Fan motor does work so we are trying the sensor and cannot find it. Any ideas? Thanks appreciate your help

The coolant temperature sending unit/switch is on the left cylinder head below the valve cover and the coolant temperature sensor is on top front of engine behind the alternator Good Luck
