Is it customary to wrap some teflon tape around the threads of the ECT
sensor (~96, 99 Camry)? Or will that interfere with the grounding of
the sensor?

Thanks,

Michael

then teflon tape will be fine if it's a taper thread. if it's a normal
[parallel] thread, you might want to consider an o-ring and leave the
tape alone.

You do not need tape on the engine coolant temperature sensor.
