Default Have a question RE;code 6,ECT sensor

'86 prelude Si 2.0: Ok so after much tinkering, I finally got this one to show a trouble code (6), and now have these 2 questions; There appear to be 2 coolant sensors at the thermostat housing. I assume one for the fans, and one for the ECM. Question 1 is, "Which is for the ECM,green or neutral color connector?"
Question 2 is,"Can a bad coolant sensor prevent a hot engine from starting?" BTW, the starter is doing its job quite well.

Oh OK, not a lot of guys here that know much about 2nd gen Preludes. You may have better luck on p r e l u d e p o w e r .com (without spaces), there's a bunch of 2nd and 3rd gen people there.
