Where is the coolant temp sensor for a 2001 Lincoln LS located in the engine?
It is on the Driver side of engine in between the COP's (Coil on plugs) simply unplug the wire use a 19 or 3/4 deep well socket and unscrew it and put it new one... The whole process should only take 10-15 minutes.
It's on the intake manifold. It is a small brass gadget with a plug that connects to the fans and guages the engine temperature.It can be unscrewed with a socket and wrench. Be careful not to break anything.
The coolant temperature sensor is located on the intake manifold as mrgreenz indicated. The sensor located between the coil packs on the top of the engine is the cylinder head temperature sensor. I found this out when replacing the valve cover gasket on a 2002 Lincoln LS with the V6 and had to replace the sensor between the coil packs...

Because ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor procedures vary depending upon their location, first locate the part. You may need to partially drain the engine coolant to prevent coolant spillage.
