Default Cossie sensor question, need a bit of help
Hi Guy's, need a bit of quick help.

Just got the sensor kit in the post from Matt Lewis Motorsport for my cossie.

Consists of; Dizzy Cap & Rotor Arm, Phase Sensor, Crank Position Sensor, ECT Sensor (Blue), ACT Sensor (Brown), Water Temperature Sensor (Dash), Radiator Fan Switch, 4 x 071 Spark Plugs

Could someone tell me what ECT and ACT stand for?

Thanks alot,
Stephen

Correct, small threaded one, should have a black bit on it, as said, 2wd is easy to change, 4x4 is a bit of a cock to get at, under the inlet maniold by cylinder 4, small turbo escos is easy aswell, sits next to no 1 spark plug!

just checking you have changed the correct sensor as this 1 is located just above the dash board temp sender and is a fiddly job to do located on the rear of the head below the oil dipstick bracket

the easiest sensor to change is the ACT (coloured brown) which is on the inlet manifold

The one at the back I changed was at the right hand side of the head (if your looking at it from the front) at the back underneath a waterpipe?
