    I ordered an ECT sensor for my 98 2.4L motor, either I got the wrong part or I am trying to replace the wrong thing. The Toyota part that was listed is 89422-35010. It does not work for the one at the front of the engine by the top radiator hose. am I looking in the wrong place? I am led to believe there is another sensor somewhere at the back of the engine, is that the one I am looking for and if so how do I find it?

    I believe that one is for the rear? There is this one, check resources to verify it fits your motor but from what I see it should.
