Coolant Temp Sensor Location

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. My coolant temp always reads in the 80s. After some research I figure its a bad sensor. Anyone know where the sensor is located? Thanks in advance.

Higher than typical? Perhaps, but there is no problem having coolant temperature readings in that range.

I did no research, but I would guess that your sensor is perfectly fine. In case you still want to mess with it, I have attached a picture of its location on the front of the engine block.
