Hello all,
I want to check my ECT sensor on my 1999 4.6, is there a basic OBD reader that will read engine temp-or is it the expensive stuff?

Regards

Steve
 
Thanks downloaded app and ordered adapter. Will give it a go and report back.

I used to be good with BBC computers-how time flies!!
 
Quick update-received the OBD adapter today-works a treat! Can now see engine temp-so can change sensor at leisure. I did read that the OBD temp reading is taken from the other thermistor in the sensor-other thermistor is for engine ecu I think. Don't know if that is correct-but all good for now.
Many thanks again
