Coolant temp sensor

I got a P0116 error code on my 2003 Rendezvous and I haven't been able to find where the ECT sensor is to replace it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there a magical internets place that has engine diagrams for finding stuff like this?

The temp sensor is threaded into the intake manifold, on the drivers side, in front and below the throttle body. Its at an angle.

Re: Coolant temp sensor

So, I replaced the sensor this morning and the SES light is still on and one of the fans is still running for a couple minutes after I shut the car off. Do I need to reset something after installing the sensor or might there be more to the problem than just replacing the sensor?
