I could be wrong, it's been a while since I had a 2.5 but I recall the temp sensor being right near the front and on top...As I recall, I would unplug it while adjusting the belt cuz the wires were in the way...
hope this helps and I'm not haluci-remembering!

There is only one temp sender for both computer and dash, The engine control module tells the body control module what the temp is and sets the gauge to the correct temp. It is the sensor in the thermostat housing
