coolant bridge is between the V at the back. Basicaly, plenum off, the next part of the intake off, then its easily accessible.  You may be able to get to it with just plenum and scuttle off.

Coolant Bridge.

Plenum off, dependin on small your hands are you may reach it with the fuel injection stuff on... if not, off with that too.

Small brass bolt, in the centre of the coolant bridge.

Btw capitals are considered shouting!

Have you done a paperclip test??

There could be other reasons for it not starting. I would have thought the engine temp sensor would have nothing to do with the engine starting/cranking?

It may stop it firing, as ecu will get mixture wrong
