theres a two wire sensor in your cylinder head below your vtec solenoid. test its resistance cold, with the plug off it and the engine completely cooled down. then fire it up and drive for about 15 minutes, come back and unplug the sensor and retest resistance. if the value hasn't changed much, you need a new temp sensor.
