The 2006 Ford F-150 4 2 coolant temperature sensor is situated near the thermostat housing on the right side. There are several potential engine issues to look out for, such as a loose spark plug leading to engine problems, a loose gasket that needs tightening, and oil leaks that require prompt repair. One critical issue is engine overheating, which could result in fires and even explosions. Excessive oil consumption may necessitate more frequent oil changes. It is recommended to change the coolant every 60,000 miles and replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Spark plugs should typically be replaced every 100,000 miles, except for copper ones that require replacement every 30,000 miles.
