Default ECT Sensor?

I know this is kind of a stupid question but where is the ECT sensor? I need to test it for the modifry AEM EMS fix. I'm sure I have messed around with it a million times but there are so many sensors I can't tell which is which.

thanks.

There are two ECT sensors. One is on the radiator, adjacent to the lower hose. The other one is on your intake manifold at the very rear (next to the large vacuum hose near the firewall).


Edit: Here's a picture. You can see the sensor on the bottom right of this picture (has white connector sticking out).

The ECT sensor is on the intake manifold, the fan switch is in the radiator.

well what one are you supposed to use for the modifry temp gauge fix? I assume the one in the radiator is the one right under the bottom hose for the radiator. But after looking at the car I have no idea how you would be able to measure the one in the intake manifold with the car running. I can barely fit my hand under there to get at the cap.

The Modifry ECT driver installs on the engine harness by the PCM, not at the ECT sensor

yes but you are supposed to get voltage readings from the ect so it can be programmed.

Measure with a volt meter at the PCM

Do they want the voltage drop across the sensor? Or the reference voltage being sent to the sensor?
