Engine coolant temperature sensor....where is it?
« on: January 11, 2008, 17:45:07 »
Does anybody know (I’m sure they do), where the ‘Engine coolant temperature sensor (ETC8496)’ is on a 1986 3.5 V8 efi? Apparently its on the top near the front, but any pics would be great!  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:


Oh, and how easy is it to change?

Not teribly difficult, it's at the front near the top of the engine itself but there are 2.  Theone for the EFi has a rectangular plug like an injector plug and the wiring is in the same loom as the injector (on the 3.9 at least), whereas the sender for the guage has a single wire and is the traditional round type.  both are close together and behind the dizzy IIRC, very close to the thermostat.
