Park/Neutral switch is in the bottom of the trans on a 5-speed. Black circle plug with an electrical connector coming out of it.

Auto trans- it is located in the inhibitor switch on the front of the trans where the shift linkage cable is attached.

 

Related to this thread, after consulting the Service Manual, is it really necessary to partially drain the coolant before you replace the ECTS, or is it safe to let some coolant spill from the mount before you screw in the new sensor?

 

just open the radiator cap to un pressurize the system and you will be fine. you dont need to worry too much about a couple of drops of coolant here and there, it will be replaced by the overflow on its own.

 

c'mon man...it's not rocket science, take it out and put in the new one and that's it

 

eh, cool. Just didn't want my next post to be "OH **** I FCUKED UP MY CAR" lol.

 

Thanks nhaven & oldngivout.

Wish we could put this info and picture in stickies. useful for some one solving stalling, idle issues...
