Hey guys, after changing out the ECT sensor (electro coolant temp: sends temp signal to computer), what's the next step?
I'm chasing down a slight over-heat problem (gauge likes to hang out around the M in NORM), and getting a new ECT from Ford made the needle stick a little closer to the M than before.
So... now what? Car seems to run strong, has a slight miss at idle, but feels strong otherwise.
Coolant level is full. Low speed fan comes on. I say a little late, i.e. that's why the car is running on the hotter side of NORM, but at least the fan comes on.
Now I just want to get that needle back to the middle of NORM... Any takers?
