In a 2008 Chevy Cobalt, you'll locate the coolant temperature sensor on the right side of the radiator near the thermostat housing. It's connected to a pair of wires that clip onto the sensor. The thermostat housing sits atop the coolant hose near the right cylinder head. Signs of a faulty temperature sensor include increased fuel consumption, black smoke or soot coming from the engine during acceleration, and the risk of overheating. Driving with a damaged sensor can lead to serious issues, so it's best to avoid using the vehicle in certain circumstances and instead have it checked and fixed at a repair shop. The cost of a new sensor ranges from $100 to $150, depending on its location and any additional repairs needed for proper function.
