so the Switch A is to the left of the distributor, switch b is to the right, the sensor is directly under the distributor

 

thanks. is this a picture of a 92 honda accord?

no, this is from a 97 accord 2.2L f22b2 engine, but should be somewhat similar. from what ive noticed the switches have the green connectors on them, so id look for the green in your car

 

and i believe if you follow the coils wire harness, the split of wires should go to the switch you need to replace

 

here is pic of the new ignition coil, and a "green" connector underneath it. That was the one I removed and jumper. It is really buried in there. I think that is the correct one. Do the temp sensor/gauge have a "green" connector?

on my car the only green conections in the area are the switches, so in your pic it does look like the switch, have you recieved the new switch yet? if so does it look like the one in your car? if not id go to or call your local napa, and see if they have the correct part, they do have delivery options but i dont know if thats for shops only.

 

Pab - Does the temperature gauge in the car start rise while the engine is idling? Or do the fan(s) turn on when the engine starts to get hot?

 

PAhonda ...

the temperature gauge does not rise, at least not the last time I drove it for about 20 miles (it stay pretty much below the middle). And the fans (neither one) comes on after driving (with the engine still running) or after shutting it off.

Start up the car, and let the engine idle.

When the engine coolant heats past ~194F, the fans should turn on. If the temperature gauge starts rising (past the middle mark), and the fans do not turn on, then you should worry about the temp switch A.

The fans will only turn on after driving, IF the coolant temperature is above ~217F and temperature switch B turns on.

 

PAhonda -

But when I press the A/C switch on, nothing happens. So, I should try to drive it longer?
