I found this plug that has a yellow and green wire or wires and its hanging unplugged heres a pic. This angle is from the front driver side.
Circled in red is the wire and for yall to get a better perspective i marked the oil pan.
I also there is this bolt that seems like its gonna unscrew itself out and i wanna know what it is and if i need to tighten it.
Dude, that looks like the wire to the temp sending unit. You said your temp gauge wasn't working, right?
That bolt is used to tension the AC compressor belt, it is normal for it to stick out.

well mine is broken lol thats why its unpluggedTo the temp sending unit.
Christ, that took a long time to find. WTF does the temp sensor have to do with the alternator bracket?honda.
Hook that wire up to #7 in the center of the picture. It is located on the back of the intake manifold. It is made mostly of brass and has a single post for the wire to attach to. It has nothing to do with the vacuum valve you speak of.

ok to make sure i got it right it plugs into the plastic piece thats connected to the actual temp sender that screws into the manifold.
The sender is brass for the threads and the nut, then a plastic insulator, tipped with a silver-colored post. The wire clips on to the post, the boot should cover both the post and the insulator.

ok thx i'll check it out tomorrow.
Make sure to clean and dry before connecting. It would be smart to use some dielectric grease on the connection, if you have some.

Well i went to check it out and i found theres a plastic thing like the one that covers or connects to the temp sender, it has a hole in it but when i tried to put the plug in, the rubber piece doesn't allow it to go in, i broke small pieces off the rubber cover on the plug. I tried to take a pic but the airbox is in the way. Its by that hose that from the top of the firewall by the master cylinder and its goes behind the engine somewhere, its at the bend point of that hose and the tubing that goes to it is hard or metal. The broken plastic piece that connects to the temp sender doesnt have a place for that plug. Where does it go?
Mine also broke.If I am understanding you correctly, you found another wire with a 1 pin connector unplugged? Does your oil light come on before you start and shut off when running? If not, you need to connect to #6. It is located behind the oil filter, on top. If it is a 2 pin plug, connect to #10.

Well my positive cable broke, but before that it was normal lights came on before i turned it on but after the car warms up and it was at certain rpms the oil light would flicker. I only found 1 which is the one i took a pic of, it has 1 hole inside it and im not sure where it goes but tomorrow im going to take off the airbox and try to get better pics to show yall.
Dude, read my previous posts, I TOLD YOU WHERE IT GOES!

It cant plug into the temp sender cause the plastic piece that covers it doesnt have a hole for it to plug into it, the only other place i found is a lil further down towards the passenger side, the same thing but it connects to a hard line and has a hole for the plug to get into i think but the boot prevents it to go in.Dude, read my previous posts, I TOLD YOU WHERE IT GOES!
This is the sending unit:
This is it's plug:
The wire is yellow with a green stripe.
What are you talking about?

What the hell then i guess the tip part ripped or something cause there a line of some black rubber or plastic on the temp sender and the 3 vacuum plastic thing seems to go on it. I'll plug it in and take pics of the plastic thing im talking about. Sorry if i aggravated you, i thought wrong thx for the help and i will get back to you tomorrow asap.
I found where that plug connects to and its not the sending unit posted above its another like it lil further down towards the passenger side. I plugged it in and i tested both my fans and they work but they dont turn on for some reason, what could it be? Me and my bro think its obviously the connections to the fan that long wire that splits into 2 plugs heres a pic of what i mean.
My bro took the pics and we think that is the reason why the fans dont kick in. Thats my roof too, needs a paint job bad.
If it's not that cut wire, I would have to say that it is the temp sensor plugged into the bottem of the radiator.
Can you point out in a manual pic which one that is? That could be it cause coolant did spill down there too.
Where exactly do each of those 3 ends plug into? It looks like the wire to the main fan and the thermoswitch on the bottom of the radiator. With all connected, unplug the wire from the sensor at the bottom of the rad, and jump it's pins. With the ignition turned to run (II), both fans should turn on when the pins are jumped.
