How do you get the Engine coolant sensor off of a 2001 Monte Carlo SS Ive tried about everything you can think of the exhaust and engine mount are in the way?

You are so in luck as I just finished that exact procedure... First, remove the radiator cap, assuming the engine is cooled down, and then the plastic engine cover by unscrewing the oil filler cap. Next, make sure you have some appropriate anti-freeze. Disconnect the posiitve terminal of the battery. Now, you will need to remove the thermostat housing using a 10 mm socket and move to the side. With a 3/4", 12 point wrench you will be able to remove the sensor. It'll take awhile but it will come out. Re-install in reverse adding antifreeze to the thermostat housing and the radiator. Start her up and check for leaks at the sensor and thermostat housing. It will smoke for awhile but that's what spilled on the exhaust pipe. All done. Good luck.. Any ?'s email me at schapstic@Yahoo.com

White smoke in the exhaust is water leaking into a piston and turning into steam. You have a leak somewhere in your engine. Your engine may overheat because you are low on coolant. You have run it out through your exhaust pipe. Soon your engine will catch fire and burn up, but you will have saved money by not getting it fixed.
