It's the sensor on the driver side head right? Going by this diagram #7:

I assume when I pull that sensor out I'm gonna lose coolant right (assuming the sensor is bad and the cause for my code)?
do you have the code #, i dont think it was "coolent temp. too low", mabey "coolent level too low"????? if so thats a relativly common problem, and the sensor in the upper portion of the radiator is probley caked with build up........and needs to be replaced, but before you do anything look at the coolent level....
