Hello,

It is in the front of the left cylinder head. I have included a diagram of your engine in the diagrams down below and I have highlighted the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor for you. Please get back to us with how everything turns out, please.

Thanks,
Alex

Mice love chewing the wires to this sensor btw. Give the harness a thorough inspection when replacing this sensor as well.
