I have a 92 prelude with a jdm h22, skunk2 IM and dcsports header, walbro 255lph FP. my car is spitting and sputtering from idle to about 4000. The cel is on and I don't know how to check it. and it also runs very rich ( I'm talking 52psi with the vacuum line on) Someone on here told me my problem with how rich i'm running. I just want my car to run normal and not like ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

You can check the code with a paperclip. Just find the little blue 2-pin connector behind the radio and stick the paperclip in both sides and the CEL will flash a certain number of times to show you the code.

Try to find a list of Honda trouble codes for future reference, but a code 6 is Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT).

That makes sense considering the ECU uses temperature among other things to determine how much fuel to dump in...

its my injectors, when I checked the codes i thought the same thing but my friend told what it was the injectors I told him everything that the light did. But I do thank you for telling me where the plug was I called two different honda dealers and they couldn't even tell me where it was. Thanks again
Wouldn't the car over heat if the ect switch was bad
