I just finished with the swap in my EG and all seems to be running good but i am throwing a CEL, code 6. I've checked all the wiring to both the temp sensor wires and fan switch all seems good, no shorts or breaks. tested resistance on a warm motor and cold motor and it seems to work just fine. everything i read points towards 6 ECT - water temperature sensor but I cant figure out what else is to try.

bump^^^^ btw no vtec either

Check the two ECT sensor wires for a short or open using a multimeter.

Thanks... Will try... You are referring to chasing the wires from the sensor back into the ecu correct?

Ohm testing of the wires

Check to make sure you have all the plugs plugged into their correct sensors as well

Fan switch should be: green and black wires
ECT: black and red
VTEC pressure switch: black and black blue

Thanks for the help!.. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to check it out... Should get some garage time tonight.. but thanks hondapartshero... Defenetly will bookmark that photo... You wouldn't happen to have one for the back side of the motor as well?

Turns out I had a broken wire from the tw sensor to the ecu... Jumped it out and code 6 went away... Now code 22 popped up... I believe it is a separate problem... I'll check my wiring for vtec tonight hopefully... Thank you for everyone's help
