Cold start issue *SOLVED*

[QikLude]

Code 6
"Code 6: (lights 4 & 2 lit) TW sensor faulty / disconnected / open circuit - Difficult to start when cold "

My city finaly poped this code this morning, it has been really hard to start when cold, so this might explain it.

One question; what is the TW sensor??

Thanks in advance!

Water temp sensor, 2 wire plug in the head under the Cam angle sensor.

Thanks for that, was just reading through the manual and it looked like that perhaps.

That would explain the problem of the cold start and roughness it had at some points randomly

I just did 1000kms and gave it an oil change so i think if that fixes it I should start abusing it some more

Thanks for the PDF very handy!

Hope it goes right but I wouldn't count on it, you got a spare one? I have a few. Double check your wiring is all good too, might be a loose earth or something.

That site has the full 3rd gen civic manual in PDF and the PGMFI bit is very good for city turbo info as they were practically identical.

Cheers for the info.

Yip i have a spare one or two.. I wreaked about 3 t1's for parts so i have a few spares. (not that i can ever find anything?!)
I would assume a new one might be obtainable from honda?

I will check the earthing, i have got some large earth wires onto the motor/head/gearbox though as these things seem a bit prone to bad earth problems.
