Behind the intake manifold, under the coil pack. Rear of engine, almost right in the middle. You can get to it from above the engine. should be cake. 14 ft-lbms, no teflon tape..

Do you have to take out the coil pack to get to it?

I think it would make it easier, but you don't have to. I think there is enough room to work back there if you got small fingers..

I'd move the coil pack out of the way so you can see what you're doing.
