Help
I have looked on line everywhere and can match what they say and what I see.
They say the ECT is located on the front left side of the engine if you are looking at the engine from the front. I found what looks to be the right connector in that location but no sensor anywhere around it.
They say the ACT is located on the low intake manifold on the right side. I see nothing there. I did find the coolent temp sensor on the right side but I think that goes the the instrument cluster not the computer.

ECT

brass sensor dead center of pic threaded into black coolant pipe




Act

Brass sensor threaded into the intake manifold behind the injector. The brass sensor in front of the injector is the temp sender for the Coolant Guage in the Guage cluster

Actually found them both the ECT was located down stream in the heater hose. I missed the ACT, thought is was an injector - my bad.
