I am thinking of removing the heater hard line due to leaks, which would force me to relocate the ECT sensor directly into the manifold where the hard line use to go. I already have the adapter to thread it in, so that's not the issue. The issue is, will having the ECT sensor directly in the lower manifold cause any different readings than the stock location? My thinking was that it will now tell the ECU a higher temp due to the heat transfer of the manifold directly on the sensor. Does this make sense to anyone? Will it indeed have any ill-effects?
Any help is appreciated. TIA
