Default Throwing codes with swap; and have unplugged sensor? please help.

Orginal topic:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=695298


Thanks for the informative website - I checked the codes..
6 = ECT sensor
22 = VTEC oil pressure switch
63 = oxygen sensor
86 = ECT circuit range/performance problem

ECT sensor is on the termostat housing correct? orginally I thought the unplugged
sensor I am showing in the pic was the ECT sensor (thats what the dealership idiots told me). But I looked on the housing and it looks like there is a plug already there?

Where is the VTEC oil pressure switch? Could the unplugged sensor I have left be that? What wire colors should I look for on harness?

Both the header and the Cat were replaced (DC headers and Catco); both are plugged in but could be malfunctioning? how do I figure out if need to be replaced; or what hte problem may be?

Thanks in advace guys. Right now the car won't idel right; VTEC won't kick in (which I thought was due to "safe" mode of ECU); and I guess O2 sensor not working - not sure if its the one on the header or cat.

Peace.

The ECT sensor is on the head. The fan switch is on the thermostat housing. I'm pretty sure what you did is accidentally switch the ECT sensor plug with the VTEC solenoid plug. They are the same plug and easy to mix up cause they are right next to eachother. Ask me how I know.

dam...
where is the VTEC switch on the JDM engine?
and do you know the wire colors on the plug so I can go out right now and
check if the plugs are wrong. I have one sensor not plugged into anything -
don't know if its to the VTEC or ECT; where on the head is the ECT
sensor?

Thanks!
