im throwing a code 6, which is the water temp sensor right? I changed it and its still there, so i took the new sensor back sence its 30 bucks. What is the problem? TIA

 

...did u reset ur ecu?

 

maybe you need to figure out the problem instead of just the fix for it... like the other day i had a o2 sensor content (code 1) it says to replace the o2 sensor, i put in another one i had and after a while same thing, my point is, find the problem, not just the solution

 

i reset it.

O2 content means the o2 is gettin messed up from something in the engine, not just a bad sensor. A code 6 is just a bad sensor.

 

isn't there 2 coolent temp sensors? One under the upper rad hose and one on the back of the block(on a D16A6)? I could be mistaken

 

Check and make sure you dont have a short in that area of the wiring harness... If water or coolant got into teh harness, and one of the wires has a small slit in it, you could be throwing all sorts of codes eventually. And I know that sounds far fetched, but I know quite a few people, Hondas, Acuras, Saabs, ect. that have had that same problem!

And make sure you reset your ECU!!!

i had to replace the harness on the water temp sensor because one wire broke off at the top of the plug. i butt connected another one on and it was still there.

i have a b16a btw.

 

The butt connector could easily be your problem. Go back in and solder the wires. That is where I would start.

 

get a PW0 ecu

 

AGREED!!!

ok thanks guys. i have a pr3 with a spoon program.

 

The sensor on the back or side of the block, is used for kicking on the cooling fans...
