So after finishing my swap I've been driving the car around and noticed that it takes the car for ever to worm up. Also ones it does it cools down fast as well. Is it a problem? Also my radiator fan doesn't work, I changed out the fan switch #11 in picture below.

What else can it be?

ETC (Electronic Temp. Control)?!? I had that issue and when I changed it out that seemed to cure the issue.

On my B16 it was infront of the head on the pass side underneath the dizz a small snesor I bought a new one at advanced auto. I will see if I can find a diagram on slhonda.

How's yout thermostat? I've seen this sort of issue on cars with no thermostat.... try putting a new one in. Once the engine seems warmed up as mush as it goes, have you tried touching the upper and lower radiator hoses to see if they are warm?

I'll try a new thermostat. The hoses are worm but not hot.

Here is the pic of a b18c and there is only one sensor #13 I'll try changing it. Also will change the thermostat.

Ahhh sorry I didnt know it was a B18C swap. You can throw a relay in the plug to see if that is it so you dont have to buy one. But they are not that much and while your changing things it couldnt hurt at least that is the way I went about it.
