ECU Code #6 (coolant temperature)
I'm getting an ECU code #6 (coolant temperature) but my car is not overheating. I pulled the ECU fuse to reset but I still get the "Check Engine".
What sensor should I be looking for to replace and where is it located.
I have a 94 integra LS

That's not for overheating, it's for the engine coolant-temperature sensor being bad or maybe unplugged. The ECU can't tell the difference between a bad sensor vs. unplugged vs. a broken wire anywhere in that circuit.
On my '95 that sensor is located sorta below the distributor, in the head. There's a single-wire sensor (for the dashboard gauge) next to the 2-wire sensor. It's the 2-wire sensor that you want. Check to make sure it's plugged in & the wires aren't broken.

Thanks for the reply.
