The coolant sensor switch is very easy and fast, but I'd suggest you take your time.
Here are a few of my tips for the job:
1. There is a small, thin plastic clip that holds the sensor to the housing. It is "U" shaped. Be careful to pull it straight out - not up. You don't want to snap the clip by accident. There is a greater risk of breaking it when you re-install the clip.
2. Keep an eye out for the old rubber o-ring - it may come off with the sensor or it may stay inside the housing.
3. When you pull the old sensor out, try not to use or pull up on the wires - they could break.
4. Lastly, don't worry about some coolant spillage; it will be minimal and not needed to be replaced.

I had the same exact problem. It got to the point where I would wait until the temperature guage went down to a very precise temperature (forgotten exactly what temp) befor it would start.
Went through two garages with still no solution, so broke down and went to the dealership. Diagnosed as a faulty crankshaft position sensor.
