clean it? why would you want to clean it? it’s not lik eyou’re get more power or it’ll work any better. dirt doesn’t protect it from heat. ---

Not sure why you want to clean it but i’m guessing it is probably right under the intake manifold close to where your thermostat is. You’ll see a coolant pipe that has two probes with wires running to them. One is your coolant temp sensor, the other is coolant temp for your gauge cluster.
