Where is the temperature sensor on a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

The 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser's engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT) is typically located on the engine block, near the thermostat housing. However, the *exact* location can vary slightly depending on the engine (2.4L or 2.0L). It's usually a single-wire or two-wire sensor with a connector.

To find it, you'll likely need to:

1. Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your 2001 PT Cruiser (with the correct engine size) will have diagrams showing the exact location. This is the most reliable method.

2. Visually inspect the engine: Look around the thermostat housing and the engine block for a sensor that looks like a small, cylindrical device with a wire connector. It might be difficult to see without some knowledge of engine components.

3. Use an online parts diagram: Some auto parts websites (like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts) allow you to look up parts diagrams for your specific vehicle year, make, and model. These diagrams often show the location of sensors.

Caution: Working on your car's engine can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable working on your vehicle, it's best to take it to a qualified mechanic. Be careful of hot surfaces and moving parts.
