getting code 6....

 

coolant temp sensor

 

would this code cause the car not to start correctly? how do you fix it?

 

not sure if its the same on ur engine but on my b16 there were a few plugs that can be switched up, and i was getting codes. the colant temp and vtec wires i believe have the same type plug. try switching them that helped me

The car will still run fine, except vtec will not engage (if it's a vtec motor), and it may have a slightly lower rev limit. I drove (carefully) with code 6 for a couple hundred miles with no problems

 

r u serious??? my vtec wont engage? where is this sensor located and what does it look like? how can i fix it?

 

it's on the passenger side of the head. It's a two-wire connector below the vtec solenoid.

First check for any breaks in the wire going from the sensor to the ECU. Thats what my problem was.

It's the 2-pin connector on the right side of the head, below the distributor.

 

right below the distributor? what color should it be?

 

ok i found it ....but the problem is that one of the two wires is cut from the plug....now i have to get a new plug and rewire the 2 wires into the plug....problem is where can i get another plug and what kind is it????

 

just go to a junkyard

 

would this code cause the car not to start up correctly???

It could, if the sensor is sending a reading that is way out of range.

if it's dissconected it will default to -40 or super rich. if shorted then it is 283

 

aite i one of the wires was cut so i went to the junkyard and wired up a new plug...does it matter what color wires are wired up...or are they interchangeble???
