Answer
Locate the engine oil dipstick. About 3 inches down the tube you will see a bracket attached to the tube that bolts to the engine. Right next to the bracket and the closest spark plug you will see a 2 wires, LIGHT GREEN and BLACK that plug into a sensor. replace this ENGINE METAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
