I would like to help you ,but what does ects stand for?
Do you mean the ECT, engine coolant temp ?
Bad habit I have , always question how do you know it needs to be replaced?

The engine coolant temp sensor is usually located on the thermostat housing.
It should have two wires coming out of it.
It's not a big deal to replace it , but the ECT is used by the computer to control various engine functions. There is a separate sending unit for the temp gauge . Are you sure the ECT location is what you want? That was why I asked how do you know it is the problem.
