Unless it is different than my 95, it is in the front of the engine about the 10 or 11 oclock position and is not at all hard to change. The bolt is a 10mm I think and it is tight! The first time I changed mine I needed a pry tool to get it out. duece

gcduece is correct, it is tight, use a 10mm 6 point socket or 6 point box wrench. Its easy to replace and you will need a large regular screwdriver to coax it out of its hole. It can be seen the easiest by lying under the radiator, and looking up at the passenger side of the front of the engine. There you will see it at about the 10:00 position in relation to the harmonic balancer.

Easy to change. If you need a diagram e-mail me direct at rvfiver at earthlink.net and I will reply with an attached file showing the sensors location.
