Code 118-coolant temp sensor. Where is it?

[SHOwener1986]

Where is the coolant temp sensor? I want to replace it from the parts car. Any hints or pictures will be helpful.
Thanks. Also I got code 636 which is the transmission oil temp sensor. Where is that one? Thanks again

The ECT sensor is a two-wire sensor that is threaded into the coolant manifold near the thermostat housing.

If you're standing on the driver side of the engine bay looking straight down at the throttle body, the coolant temp sensor will be under and to the right of the TB. It can be a little tricky to get to and you'll need a deep well socket to take it off.

Before you go doing that swap however, you may want to recheck codes. An ECT code can be set if the car isn't up to operating temperature. I've found that the aftermarket ECT sensors don't last extremely long so provided it's the factory sensor I wouldn't replace it unless you had to.

its right under the throttle body:

thanks for posting that forever ago autosho!

u need a 1" deep well socket to get to it, or sometimes a 1" box/open end wrench works(didnt on my atx, but did on a friends mtx )
