Default stupid coolant temp. sensor / plug question...

Here's Dave with another dumb one for ya:

I threw a code 6, coolant temp sensor. I bought the sensor and went to replace it. Its not the sensor, I noticed the wire to the plug that goes to the sensor was cut. There isnt enough wire to splice them back together(its cut right behind the plug) My question is: Can I get the plug from ANY 88-91 civic? Or do I have to find a 90 Si? Thanks for helping a screwball.
-Dave

i'm pretty sure ANY plug would work...i don't think its Si specific.

i'm glad to see you posting in here more.

I always forget that you sold your Si and got a HB. One thing you will learn my friend is that the junkyard will be your best friend.

Just grab another connector, I used the one from the ZC harness when one of my wires snapped too close to the connector, simple.
