ECT Sensor?

[TheBlasterMan]

Anybody have the ECT Sensor cable break right were it mounts to the motor? should i fix this? leave it alone wich would be pretty stupid i guess. I attempted to fix it but im not sure how it hooks up.

I haven't been up on my bible (450r manual) readings but could you enlighten us as to what the ECT sensor is and where it goes? Maybe a picture if possible? I'm trying to get people to help yeah cause I don't really know or can't think straight currently.:p

When in doubt, replace it.:D

ECT sensor = Engine Coolant Temperature sensor

I believe there's just one wire connected to the sensor (it grounds directly to the engine). Yellow/blue I think. It makes it's way to the CDI--almost certainly by way of a connection somewhere into the wiring harness. Reconnecting it should be simple. Just find the broken wire.

right next to the T-stat? :D

yes i have a 04 450r,and my coolant senser just brok at the push on connecter and broken the flat slide on the senser off.my r started running like crap,and breaking up at higher rpm.just replaced the senser if it breaks off,and install a new push on connecter.u can get it from napa auto stores.just take the senser done and match one up....

i've had one break but i remove and reconnect quite frequently cause of head work/changes.
