2001 4.6 code P0117

My 2001 F-150 4.6 is throwing code P0117 Insuficient coolant temp. My truck runs great ,it's not overheating at all. gauge is normal, the only thing I noticed is alot lower gas milage since throwing the code. I replace the thermostat & cleared the computer, but the light come back on the next morning. My truck doens't have a coolant temp sensor usually located next to the alternator, there just a threaded plug there. Do I have a CHT sensor or ECT sensor? And if so where are they located?

I don't have a manual for 2001 but my 97 shows the CHT located on the top of the engine drivers side toward the front. Fun part...step one says remove intake. Never done one so I can't say if it can be replaced without removing the intake. Good luck.
