'95 Accord CEL on (6)?
 
I have a '95 Accord I bought around a month ago. It had a check engine light on. I jumped it out and it kept repeating code number 6. That shows "Coolant Temperature"? What fixes this? haha.

Likely a problem with the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. This is one of the three sensors on the passenger side of the engine under the distributor.

The ECT sensor has two wires going to it, so that narrows it down to of the sensors. It will be the one that does not have the green plastic connector.

I think it is almost directly under the distributor.

Before you replace, you should unplug the electrical connector and inspect the pins inside for oil/corrosion. Look for any damage of the wires near the electrical connector too.

Ok, first off mines a F22B1, the SOHC Vtec. I see two plugs beside each other and both go to a pair or little rounds sensors or whatever they may be. Two plugs, two wires, two round things lol.

are the connectors the same color? he said not the green one. you may have to clean it off to see what color it is if it's dirty.

Ok, wrong thing, I may be seeing the V-tec or something. From the T-stat housing plug which is green, behind that there's a single wire sensor, black and it's in the head. Behind that directly under the distributor there's a plug in the head. There was a grey two wire plug dangling in my engine bay greasy and nasty after so long. It goes the this broken plug in the head. I'm guessing this is my CEL problem? It has to be! I called the local Napa and the sensor is $15. I'll just give it a shot lol. It goes to the coolant in the head.

you are probably right. if the connector is broken and hence not plugged in that would most likely be your problem right there. let us know if this part fixes your problem. :)
