Where is the ect sensor on a 1987 ford thunderbird turbo coupe 2.3L engine?

The ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor on a 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 2.3L engine is located on the cylinder head, usually near the thermostat housing. It's a single-wire sensor.

However, precise location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration. To be absolutely certain, you should:

* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your specific year and model will have a diagram showing the sensor's exact location.

* Check online forums: Search online forums specific to the 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Owners often post pictures and discuss repairs, which might help you pinpoint it.

Remember to be careful when working near hot engine components. Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting to locate or replace the sensor.
