NTK EF0016 coolant temperature sensor for the 1981-1996 Ford F-150 V8 5.0L or 5.8L, the 1984-1995 F-150 6-cylinder 4.9L, the 1991-1994 F-150 V6 3.8L, the 1997-1998 F-150 V8 5.4L and other vehicles reports the engine coolant temperature to the engine computer. Wires and probe length match OE.
- Analog signal to the ECM supports proper air/fuel ratio, cooling fan operation and temperature gauge readings
- Thermal conductive grease inside the housing increases sensor response time and passes temperature accurately to the thermistor
- Testing includes thermal shock, vibration and OBD verification
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0016 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: the 1981-1996 Ford F-150 V8 5.0L or 5.8L, the 1984-1995 F-150 6-cylinder 4.9L, the 1991-1994 F-150 V6 3.8L, the 1997-1998 F-150 V8 5.4L and other vehicles

The engine coolant temperature sensor may be located on the cylinder head, engine block, thermostat housing or intake manifold. A check engine light, an erratic or dead temperature gauge, erratic or no cooling fan operation or overheating can mean the sensor is failing. Those signs alone do not prove it, since low coolant can also overheat an engine.
