It might help you figure out what's wrong.

The car is a honda accord 1997 and the engine is a F28B > it`s from japan --------------------------------------------- Vtec won't work if it can't tell that the engine is up to operating temperature. Have you tried topping up the rad and filling the coolant reservoir to the MAX so the coolant sensor will be properly immersed when the thermostat opens? What was the displayed CODE (numeric, not interpretation) ?? 'Curly' how do i retrieve the code number without using the OBD11 scan tool > how do i retrieve the code number without using the OBD11 scan tool umm.. in your fisrt post you said "when i used the ODB11 scan tool " so, use it again (or go to autozone or some autoparts store, they read it for free. just make sure you get the code number). the whole point of the check engine light is to tell you a code is stor, and that code tells you whats wrong. it's not just an "idiot light" the code am getting is P0117 In article <6d8ca8d6f34a3e2f67fed19c3f422052@localhost.talkaboutautos.com>, "fishgut" <fish_gut@yahoo.com> wrote: > the code am getting is P0117 Engine coolant temperature, low input.

Since you are NOT a mechanic, you should consider taking your car to a mechanic and having him or her check the condition of the cooling system. You failed to include the former posts related to your problem. I believe that the following trouble code was displayed: P0117 Engine coolant terperature circuit, low input What steps have you taken to make sure the cooling system is in working order? Is the radiator filled to the rim? (Don't remove the cap unless the engine is cold). Are there any leaks related to the radiator, all hoses, etc. If you plan to do the work yourself, visit a auto store such as NAPA and purchase a repair manual for your vehicle and read the sections related to the cooling system.

Either that or it wasn't reconnected after the repair or they damaged the sensor or wire during the repair. If you can find the sensor, a visual inspection and wiggling any connectors may be sufficient to identify or solve the problem. > My car was crash and after the repair my vtec stop work and my check > enging > light stays on and when i used the ODB11 scan tool to cancel it the light > come back on in lest than a second .
