Does the vehicle ever misfire while driving??

Customer replied 1041 days and 6 hours ago.

Yes it does you always have to have your foot on the gas and if you dont you have to feather the pedal to get it to smooth out. It will not stay steady at any speed without playing with the gas pedal

Unplug the ect sensor and see if the vehicle runs better since you have a fault for it.

Customer replied 1040 days and 1 hours ago.

Where is the cts located I dont see anything for a sensor in the coolant system I have not got under the car to look yet though

Picture
Expert:  vwtech0405 replied 1039 days and 22 hours ago.

The coolant temp sensor is located on the back of the cylinder head on the coolant flange.

Customer replied 1039 days and 21 hours ago.

thanks i will look at it in the morning if it runs better is it a bad sensor
