Cobra manifold swap 91 lx temp sensor?

[rblaine9000]

I swapped my stock gt manifold to cobra up and low. Ran into a problem! there was not a location for my coolant temperature and I assume that the cobra has a diffrent neck for hose that has a sensor location in it ? don't know I have been searching the swap threads for hours and have not seen this question. Hope someone has the answer thanks!!!!!!!!

Is this the ACT sensor? If so you can relocate it with a kit from these guys. http://www.mass-air.com/Products.htm

Edit: Or you can drill and tap your lower plenum to except this sensor.

I don't think that the ACT sensor is what I am talking about.this sensor when in the stock manifold was located in a coolant port near the front of engine on the drivers side and it was used for engine temp.thanks though

it should. mine did and it was an original from ford.

so you are saying this is the act sensor?

94-95 Cobra intakes did not have a bung for the ACT sensor. Neither did explorers.

The ACT sensor lives in the intake runner for #5 cylinder.

The ECT sensor lives in the water piping that connects to the heater & EGR coolant lines.

the engine coolant temp sensor is what he is talking about not the ECT. The lower you have is not a 93 Cobra variety or the hole would be there - as mentioned, it's either a SN Cobra lower or an Explorer lower. 9/16" drill and a 3/8 NPT tap will fix you up. Or, use the 9/16 and 3/8 NPT on the stock thermostat housing blank well (drill and tap) and move it there.
