The ECT, which is the main sensor, sends a signal to the ECU for fuel delivery. You'll get better mileage also.

Chilton and Haynes don't have a manual for the LS400, you would need to find a dealer service manual. (best investment I made) You can get them for close to $200 on Ebay or if you search around. Also if you search you can find the ECT, it's one of the most popular subjects in this forum. This is for a 95 but it's in the same place; https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ange-pics.html
