2002 Mustang V6 3.8L
Hi,
I'm trying to replace my engine coolant temperature sensor in my 2002 Mustang V6 3.8L and I'm having trouble finding where the location of the ECT is. Can someone please point me in the direction of the ECT? With pictures please

I'm not entirely sure. I just know that there is a CHT instead of ECT. Never had to replace one (honestly wouldn't want to). Most things I find say it screws into the backside of the driver head. Others say it has two CHT's. Is your car throwing a code that makes you think it needs replaced?

they use CHT (cylinder head temperature) sensor instead of ECT.
it's on the driver side intake manifold, plugged right into the cylinder head, it's a brass fitting device with gray or black plastic plug connector.
sorry no pics.
