It's screwed into the actual engine head just under where the intake manifold ataches. If you're looking down at the top of the engine from the front of the car with the hood up, it's going to be on the backside of the engine.

Jack the front end of the car up and put jack stands under for backup support just in case (always do this when jacking up *any* vehichle).

Take off the *passenger side* tire/wheel and remove the mud cover panel on the right side under tire well area.

Then take off the engine's serpentine belt and alternator, (taking off the alternator is a bit tricky, but you can find a how-to video on YouTube by searching "2001 Ford escape 4 cylinder alternator removal").

If you have a Haynes manual for Ford Escapes/Mazda Tributes it will best tell you the location of the CHT (Cylinder head temperature) sensor with pictures and everything. But you have to do the actual taking off work blind, because the sensor screws into the engine head from the back and is a little recessed making it out of sight from above (which is the best place to work from when taking it out).

The screw head of the sensor is a 15mm. I tried a wrench and couldn't get it off due to little to none maneuvering space for a wrench.

So, (*being very sure the sensor was bad and having the new one on hand*) I cut the wire between the sensor and it's harness end and used a deep well 15mm socket on a 3/8 ratchet and took the sensor off. Still trying to figure out myself how to get the new one on, though.
