Default ECT location Q, almost done.....

Does the ECT go in the end of this tube ? Or does it go where i have it ? I can either block the end of that tube, or put the ECT there and block the hole its in.

Well, On my car, theECT is in the tube. In the intake where you have the ECTthe sensorfor the gaugegoes there(one wire hookup) I don't think it is right, but it should work fine as long as you plug the hole.

I got the 1 wire sensor in the back, so it is hooked up. I think ima just plug the hole whre the ect is now and put the ect in the end of that pipe.

On mine, the ECT goes in the tube that runs to the heater core, which is in your pic, but i cant see it, the Engine Coolant sender is correct though, which im assuming your running a stock gauge-cuz it has a electrical connection.

The gauge temp sensor is in the picture, that is the ECT in place of where it goes...the gauge temp sensor has only 1 wire.

Yes it on the right side-it sends the temp to the gauge- Thats is weird-i guess that will work? i mean its in the coolant so why not

Yeah, it is the ECT, for the computer on the right side, not where it goes, but it will work
