This is the best I can do for you, it should help.

Go to http://www.spaztik.net/integra/helm

On the index page go to "fuel emissions"....then go to page 3 of 148

Check it out...it will have all the sensor locations there....They may be slightly different then yours, but in the general location.

The sensor is on the back of the block at the bottom, has two wires connected to it. There are a few reasons it can be on. One, your car is overheating. Two, your losing pressure with your radiator. One of the best ways to trouble shoot this is to try another radiator cap. Thats the best solution to this problem. That fixes it like 75% of the time. I am throwing it because I am losing pressure from the radiator cap. Plus I am losing pressure from another spot but its cool. Maybe your sensor is just bad, I dont know. But try some of that.

wow thanks for the prompt replies. i've actually already replaced the thermostat and radiator cap, so i'm pretty sure it's a bad sensor.

Well if you cant figure it out, take it in and get it pressure tested. That will tell you if you have a leak somewhere. My sensor went bad, and a shop fixed it for me for 65 bucks. So it cant be too hard of a fix, hehe.
