That’s not true... geez... it’s not just a resistor... if you get it backwards the car will think it’s hot when it’s cold and cold when it’s hot and it will adjust fuel accordingly... Please stop wasting peoples time and stop answering questions you know nothing about...The ECT is a resistance type sensor. It can be wired either way and will work the same.

It appears you may be misinformed, from where I don't know.
If
My Apologies. Technically it's a 2-wire thermistor which has no polarity and functions off a 5V reference voltage.
I guess we will wait for someone who really knows to come along.
Actually you need to go read the paragraph again buddy!!! All of you!!! It actually says in section 240 as temperature increases resistance decreases!!! Read the paragraph again that’s exactly what it says so you are wrong. You don’t even know what you’re reading.Go read it yourself and come back and tell me it doesnt...I am familiar with them but assure you the Mustang does not use them. For one, NTC sensors tend to be made out of ceramics and more "exotic" metals than this ECT sensor is. The ECT is just a simple resistance sensor. 5V in, and a reduced voltage back to the ECU.
Here's the reference resistance/voltage chart you can measure against. Read section 240

Read the paragraph again that’s exactly what it says so you are wrong. You don’t even know what you’re reading.Go read it yourself and come back and tell me it doesnt...I’ll add a screenshot just so you can see. Seriously do you even understand what you were reading because that is a negative temperature coefficient sensor. Look at the chart you can see a high temperature equals low resistance Jesus let your ego fly away please
Do you even know how to read that chart??? That’s a negative coefficient sensor buddy. It’s very easy to understand that because it tells you. As temperature increases resistant decreases. That’s what the chart says can’t you read a high temperature equals low resistance that’s a negative coefficient. Re-read the first paragraph yourself I’ll post it again.. it’s not “just a resistor”Actually you need to go read the paragraph again buddy!!! All of you!!!

Well... my attitude?ok, while I'm not a highly trained automotive tech, I will say your attitude (whether you are wrong or right) is not making you any friends, people come here looking for advice, not to be berated, that said, if you are smart enough to know how this sensor works you should be smart enough to figure out how to wire it.
I don't see any wires on this sensor, also on the one at rockauto,
You also know I’m right.... LMR agreed with me but they don’t have the pigtail... I came in here wanting to know of anyone else had this sensor I did... not to be told that it wasn’t something that you and I both know it is... LOL... these guys put me down acting like I don’t know what I’m talking about... All I Gotta say each and everyone of you that think I’m wrong take your sensor in your resistance meter and hook up to it and throw it in hot water see what the reading is then turn the leads around and do it again and I swear to God you get a different answer. Case closed you guys need to do your researchWell... my attitude?
