Thumbs up Found it!!

Found it,but cant get a good pic. its under the intank manifold ,under the first injector, your going to need a 14mm or 15mm deep socket and extension to get it out, that's the best I can do.

Glad you found it. I had P0125 pop up on my CEL. Replaced the ECT, turned out it was a broken wire by the B2S1 02 Sensor harness close to the firewall.
