Where is Location engine coolant temp sensor 2001 Chevy Camaro 3.8?

The coolant temperature sensor (CTS) on a 2001 Chevy Camaro 3.8L is located on the engine block, near the thermostat housing. It's typically a single-wire sensor, and it's crucial to remember that there are often two temperature sensors on these engines. One is for the gauge cluster, and the other for the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). You need to determine which one is failing *before* you replace it.

To be absolutely certain:

1. Consult a repair manual specific to your 2001 Chevy Camaro 3.8L: This is the best way to find the exact location and identify the correct sensor (gauge vs. PCM). A Haynes or Chilton manual is a good investment for this.

2. Use a reliable online diagram: Websites like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts often have diagrams you can access by entering your vehicle's information. These diagrams often show sensor locations.

Without a visual reference specific to your engine, attempting to identify the correct sensor solely on a general description could lead to replacing the wrong part.
