1997 Explorer 4.0 ECT location?

Hello all. Got a CEL the other day and pulled codes on my 1997 Explorer XL. I got a P0125. I have no reason to suspect the thrmostat is bad but I'll change it out anyways. I think more that it's the engine coolant temperature sensor. I picked on up and logged in here to search but the search was down. To be honest I haven't actually looked for it yet but can anyone tell me where it is? I haven't had to do much work to the thing besides routine maintenance, it's been really reliable with almost 80,000 on it now. My first Ford and I've been quite satisfied with it. Help me if you can, thanks in advance....

Larry...

Nevermind, I found it. For any future queries on this matter on the OHV 4.0 it's under the throttle body to the left of the thermostat.

Later....
