I'm trying to find where my ECT (Engine Coolent Temp.) sensor is? is it the sensor coming out of the thermostat? or is it somewhere else?

 

yes, it is in the thermostat housing.

Isn't that the fan switch? The ECT sensor should be below the distributor.

ECT sender is on the side of the cylinder head under the vtec solenoid area
the sender for the temp gauge is next to it.</TD></TR></TABLE>That's correct for my cars also. But some years they were moved around. Maybe if Jeff1119 would tell us what car/year/engine he has...

 

If your thermostat is stuck open, would that cause your fan not to come on ?

But you can still check the fan's operation by jumpering the fan switch.
