air charge temperature sensor

[Rock_28]

i seem to have coolant leaking from the sensor on my 2000 se 3.1 v6. Is it possible to just change the sensor to stop the leak or can be another problem to it?

If you are referring to the engine coolant temperature sensor you can try tightening it down some more. If that doesn't work then replace it. The threads on these type sensors are self sealing and no teflon tape should be used.

The torque value for the ECT sensor is 18 ft-lbs. About similar to installing a spark plug. Good luck!
