ECT Sensor - 97 960 900 1997

Where is the ECT sensor located on my 97 960? I have searched the rear of the head with a mirror to no avail. Am I off track? Thanks in advance.

On my 93 I changed it, as I recall it was about a 14mm hex, brass, it is just centerline from the two firewall hoses and about 6" down from the top of the plastic head cover. I remember??? a two wire D shaped connector with a locking prong. I used a small plastic tube poked down the coolent res hose to syphon to below sensor level. Job took less than an hour, I think the sensor was close to $50 as I did not have time to shop.

I assume that it is in the same area as my '94, and that is in the back. It is about 5 inches from the top of the head and just a little off center toward the exhaust side. Maybe you just need more light to see it. Now this is the sensor connected to the ecm not the one for the temp. guage, that one is locate in the thermostat housing.

It is probably easier to see from underneath the car.
