Default 91 Accord LX CEL from Coolant temp sensor

I just swaped motor in a 91 accord I just bought. The CEL is on and the check and got a code 6 for coolant temp sensor. Bought a new one and still get same code. I also noticed that the cooling fan is not turning on until I turn the car off. I had a circulation problem at first, apparently my new thermo was bad. Took it out completely, now car is not running too hot. Any ideas on sensor and fan problem?
