What is the 2001 Ford f150 4.6 L coolant temperature sensor location?

The 2001 Ford F-150 4.6 L coolant temperature sensor location is near the thermostat housing and the cylinder head. A coolant temperature sensor (CTS) (also known as an ECT sensor or ECTS (engine coolant temperature sensor) is used to measure the temperature of the coolant/antifreeze mix in the cooling system, indicating how much heat the engine is giving off. If the coolant temperature sensor goes bad it can send a false signal to the computer and throw off the fuel and timing calculations. It is not uncommon for the coolant temperature sensor to fail and send a permanently cold signal to the computer. One of the firSTSymptoms associated with a problem with the coolant temperature sensor is poor fuel economy. Another symptom of a possible problem with the coolant temperature sensor is black smoke from the vehicles exhaust.
