CEL Code 6 - ECT Sensor
I know it's the engine coolant temp code which means I have a defective circuit or unplugged/defective sensor. Anyone know where I can find this sensor?

middle of the engine bay...by all the other sensors (it's kinda buried though). It's a little metal stub sticking out of the side that the sensor slides over. ****, if u need a pic i'll go take one...but i'm too lazy right now...

Thermostat housing... follow the lower rad hose to the engine and the first piece of aluminum you hit is the thermostat housing. You'll see the ECT switch on it.
