2003 Ford Ranger, 2.3 liter engine. I found mine on the same aluminum casting that the oil filter screws onto. Inboard to the engine. Got a 15/16" wrench on it. Broke the plastic connector band over the hole in the part that the tab pops into on the connector. Actually unscrewed the part with the connector still attached until I could get it clean and see how it would come apart.
where is the temp. sending unit located on a 1999 ford ranger xlt 6cyl 3.0l .Gauge does not work.
I BELIEVE that is called the ( engine coolant thermostat / water outlet assembly )
Do you mean the Temp sending unit, oil pressure sending unit, or fuel level sending unit?
The oil pressure sending unit is located on the drivers side of the engine on the rear of the head. It has one wire going to it. It's a pain in the butt to get to. I'm looking for the temp sending unit on my 89 4cy ranger. Any idea?
Fuel is cold and fuel tank sending unit is probably going bad or a faulty connection
On the front of the engine basically behind the thermostat housing.
The sending unit for the computer is on the drivers side right behind the distributor. The sending unit for the gauge in the cab is on the passenger side (both tap directly into the intake
The sending unit (for the gauge) is on the TOP LH FRONT of the engine. On the top, you'll see three of the fuel injectors, and the sending unit is to the left of the injector that is closest to the grill (i.e. closest to the front of the vehicle).
Installed into the big rubber engine air intake tube close to the throttle body
The temp sending unit may be shorted to ground. Unplug the sending unit to see if the gauge drops to cold. If it does, you have a faulty temp sending unit.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor for the 2.3L engine is located between the two center ignition coils. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor for the 3.0L engine is located in the intake manifold to the right of the thermostat housing. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor for the 4.0L engine is located in the intake manifold behind the thermostat housing.
where is the engine mangement temp sensor on a ford focus and how is it fitted
