Default Help can't find the ECT sensor

I have been crawling over the 2.3 in a 93 LX for 2 days now and can't find the ECT. I sold the car to and have to deliver it tommorrow (to my girlfriends kid) and have to fix this before we leave. Lol, the puter thinks the engine is cold when it's warm and floods itself trying to start on cold cycle.

Don't have any experience with a 2.3. However, given that ehe Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor in located in the Engine coolant system, I suspect that if you can't find it up top near the thermostat, it must be tucked away under the rad. Regardless of its location is HAS to be wherever the coolant goes.

I had a chrysler that had one under the rad.

That's all I can say on this. Maybe some former 2.3 owners can shed a bit more light on this.
