Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 1985 Ford Ranger, 1985 Ford RV Cutaway, 1985 Ford Pickup, 1985 Ford Econoline, and 1985 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This sensor, threaded into heater supply tube, monitors engine coolant temperature. The ECA interprets this as either cold or normal operating temperature. This influences ECA control of fuel mixture enrichment, ignition timing, and EGR operation.
