how do i know for sure if it's reversed... ?

thanks

ECT= Engine Coolant Temperature.

ECT SENSOR= tells the ecu the temp. 2 wires attached,usually a red/white & a green/blue.Make sure red/white continuous back to ecu.

ECT SENDER= tells the cluster guage the temp. 1 wire attached,usually a yellow/green.Make sure continuous back to cluster temp guage.

Both of these are side by side,screwed into the block below the dizzy/vtec spool valve area.

Who wired it all up? tell them to check these arent reversed,simple thing to eliminate first before lookin elsewhere,could be a combo of other things.

How was the wiring done? ie are u runnin obd2 ecu,what engine harness did u use,are u using the stock car harness with extra wires?

ok ... the engine harness is from the b16a2, i'm currently using the original harness (firewall ) from the si. with a conversion harness to the ecu.

well as for who wired it up ... it was danny ... for the most part and then i took over and hooked up the rest.

the above looks to be correct. could there be anything else? or should i go to good performance in yennora and get them to figure it out, i would rather save my money and do this on my own thougn!

Have you wired up your knock sensor yet?

yeah i have actually... at least i think i have... it's a two wire plug above the oil filter right...?

what did you actually do? Of course the engine harness is gonna be connected to the knock sensor. But did you wire it from the engine harness to ecu? BTW it's a single wire from the knock sensor.
