- Some vehicles will use a ECT which has resistance of 100,000 ohms and yet others may be 50,000 ohms. HOW TO TEST THE ECT CIRCUIT This is a rather simple procedure — watch the ECT voltage as the engine begins to warm up and then check the reading once the engine is at spec operating temperature. You should expect a reading from 0.8 – 1.2 ...
- Can you guys tell me where the ECT sensor is located? I have a low engine temperature, approx. 170-185*. This is even during towing about 10,000lbs of a loaded dump trailer. During the time of the low engine temp issue, outside temps have ranged from the 90's at the end of summer to the 30's recently. And since the low engine temp started, I ...
- Product notes. 1983-85 CFI Mustang 5.0 the coolant temp sensor is located in the heater hose fitting on the intake. 1986-95 EFI Mustang 5.0 the coolant temp sensor is located in the metal heater tube. 1987-93 EFI Mustang 2.3 the coolant temp sensor is located in the T fitting on the heater core hose.
- Signal application: Coolant temperature sensor signals are required as a correction factor for determination of ignition timing, injection timing and idle speed stabilization. In addition, these systems are activated depending on engine coolant temperature: Knock control. Adaptation of idle speed volume control. Oxygen sensor operation.
- That’s why pumping the gas pedal keeps your engine running. You can have a bad sensor even without a “check engine” light or trouble code. We could tell you how to test it, but they’re so cheap (about $15) and easy to replace, that it makes more sense to just replace an engine coolant temperature sensor. Ask the auto parts store clerk ...
