You didn't say what sensor, or whether it is 4 or 6 cylinder. Assuming you are talking about the water temperature sensor, it is located (from standing over the front bumper) on the top, right side of the lower intake manifold. You will see it by looking under the bulge of the upper half of the intake manifold, the part with the air passages. It mates onto the lower intake manifold, which has water cooling passages, making it an ideal location for the water temperature sensor.

I replaced a water pump and a thermostat but now the car wont start

Picture looks like a Ford of some sort. Changing the water pump and t-stat should not cause a no start. Was there any electrical connectors disconnected that may have not been plugged back in? ( coolant sensor ) ??

2006 Ford Explorer P0306 code. I had all spark plugs replaced wires, water pump and radiator. small mis fire not that bad, check engine light on. what else could it be?

Run a compression test on it starting with #6 cylinder and those adjacent to it. You may have a leak in the head gasket due to the overheat.

The fluid level light keeps coming on. Doesn't need a water pump, already checked. Replaced a cracked reservoir. Hoses okay. Smell antifreeze after driving. Also, CO2 sensor ok. Churns when...

Hi Karen
The problem here could be that you may have a leak in your coolant reservoir. Especially if you can smell antifreeze (coolant) after driving it could be that some of the hoses may be plugged depending on age and when the radiator is trying to feed the fluid back into the reservoir it cant this can also impact the levels sensor.
Have the hoses checked as well as the coolant reservoir and check for fluids/moisture around the bottom of your radiator. It commonly is collecting around that area when you have a feedback issue.

Water Pump replacement and then PO332 code ~ knock sensor

Sounds like you have several problems. The P0332 sounds like you got your knock sensor wet and needs to be replaced. When you do make sure you replace the wire harness also and that you seal around both sensors. Also remove the back near fire wall foam under the intake mani to let the water that collects evap out.
