Look for C107 on the diagram.

Hope this helps.

I believe its on the inside edge of the passenger side head under the 3rd inlet port. Wires are white/violet and brown white

This engine does not have nor use a engine coolant temp sensor. It uses a cylinder head temp sensor. It is mounted under the intake which has to be removed to gain access to the sensor. It is on the drivers side head next to the intake ports

It would probably fit, but it could have different sensors and solenoids.
A salvage yard should have the interchange book to tell you for sure.

Does the engine temperature also take that long to get to operating temp (around 200 F)? If it does, your thermostat may be on its way out. Check your coolant level first.

The EGR Valve could be an issue

Almost certain you will have 1 or 2 bad cop
ignition coils a year,so misfire ,yes

Could be several other problems

Need the correct spark plugs,they are special
to the LS,anything will fit,but not work right

O2 Sensors have to get changed at 100,000 miles

MAF Sensor Cleaned

V6 or V8

V8 is a lot easier to work on & less issues

Could be wrong on your model year

But my 2004 V8 has no CTS Sensor
only a cylinder heat sensor

What you have is a head temp sensor, which is screwed in between 2 injectors. Thanks for using FixYa.

CHT-Cylinder Heat Temperature Sensor

V6--Driver Side--between COP Coil 5 & 6

V8-work in progress & I own one

NO CTS Sensor,odd I know
