Coolant Temperature Sensor

I have a new coolant temperature sensor on the way that will hopefully fix some of my starting problems. I was looking through the 4th gen howto sticky but only saw a link for the thermostat. Is that the same as the coolant temperature sensor? Thanks!

I had to remove gauge sensor too to have comfortable access to ECTS, prepare for some coolant leak...

That's probably one of the easier things to do on a Maxima. Mine didn't even leak any coolant when I changed it.

Thanks for the help, I just got it changed. It took FOREVER to unscrew/screw it because I didn't remove that other sensor. I didn't have any coolant leaks though.

Hmmm. You must have used a wrench. Using a socket would have taken you about 5-10 minutes at most.
