I'm looking for a diagram that shows the location of the engine coolant temperature sensor on this vehicle. Searches keep bringing up unrelated engines, or engines from similar vehicles from different years (so I'm not sure whether they are applicable to this model).

Here's the drawing for the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor. There's some articles listed below that may offer more information.

So this engine doesn't have an ECT sensor, just the CHT sensor?

Correct. I have never seen this from any other manufacturer, but like with RCA tvs, Ford has always done things differently from everyone else.

What kind of problem are you trying to solve?
