2001 Sportage temp sensor location

My 2001 Sportage will run beautifully and then all of a sudden it will run terribly. I believe the fuel/air mixture becomes greatly enriched, because during the malfunction the exhaust heats up to the point where smoke can be seen coming out from below the wipers. Also, a mechanic told me this. He replaced both cat converters, plugs, and wires, and probably a few other things. I replaced the upper O2 sensor and I think he replaced the lower one. Reading another thread lead me to believe it might be the temp sensor. If this might be the case, does anyone know where it is located?
