That's where your ECT (engine coolant temp) gauge goes. Do you still have that sensor or did you lose it or what?

You are talking about the threaded opening on the top of the intake that is within a couple of inches of the thermostat housing, right?

Umm...the thermostat housing is a lot more than a "couple inches" from the lower intake.

He's talking about the threaded hole that's smack in the middle of the lower intake and is in the coolant passage.

yes Red LX, im talking about the one that is smack in the middle of the lower intake. not the one that is on the underside that is cake to get to. but the one on the top side of the intake that is a PIA to get to(right by the fuel rail).
What kind of sensor is it? ETC?

Yea i think i lost it during my 1 year project?
how much $ do these usually run?

Thanx for all the help, ill get some pics up soon.
