As title says, there's coolant where the two pin plug goes. Not leaking out of threads, no other moisture in the area.

I developed a P2181 and P0116 but coolant is fine and temp was getting up to 200'ish. I was also backprobing the ECT to verify voltage.

But then I wanted to ohm out the ect while cold and that's when I found coolant in there.

You guys ever heard of that causing a 2181 or 116?

When that happens with coolant of oil that just means the sensor is failing on the inside, so your sensor isn't giving a correct reading.
