ECT location 4.0 V6

Greetings all! I have a 93 Ranger, 4.0 V6, 4X4,with a/c. Was hoping someone could tell me the location of the electronic temperature sensor. The one that goes to the computer. Hoping to solve a cold start problem. Any tips appreciated.
Thanks!

Both the ECT(engine coolant temp) sensor and SENDER are at the top front of the lower intake manifold just above thermostat housing.

The one with TWO wires is the Sensor
ONE wire is Sender, for dash board temp gauge.


Sensor also has a Cone shape tip, you can see after it is out, also when you get the new one

Sender has cylinder shape tip

Sender: https://www.obd-codes.com/faq/images/ect-sensor.jpg

Just FYI, auto parts guys do NOT know the difference, so check inside the box
