ls/vtec engine coolant temperature sensor
Hey guys, Im pretty new to this forum. I have a question about my ls/vtec setup. I have a 90 crx that had a b16a1 in it, on a pr3 ecu. I got a b18 block and rebuilt it for boost. About 3 weeks ago I got the b16 head on the block and it back in the car. Now the b16 block has a spot for the cts(engine coolant temperature sensor) on the rear of the back near the fan sensor and oil pressure port. But on the b18 it is not there, I believe its supposed to be in the thermo housing? But I just have the sensor plugged into the wiring harness and not in a spot(floating in the engine bay) and of course Im throwing a code 6. So I was just wondering where the heck to put it. On the b16 its a single wire connection, I think on the b18 its a two wire connection? not sure, but any help would be great. Heres some pics of my setup, thanks for looking.

the ect sensor is a sensor on the head. If it's unplugged it throws code 6.
that switch on the back of the block enegizes the radiator fan.
