I purchased my car from my in-laws who had the car completely tuned up from filters to fluids, spark plugs too. Still the car starts rough.
The car only has 31000 miles on it. A co-worker who used to be a mechanic suggested it might be the coolant temperature sensor causing the problem.
He believes this model had an issue with them. Where on the engine is the sensor located? I know they're only about $20.00 at a parts store and I would rather replace it myself than pay someone to do it. Can this also effect fuel mileage? I'm only getting about 20 mpg. I should be getting 24-28 mpg. Can anyone help?

Sensor should be near thermostat at the engine side of upper radiator hose. T
