I recently installed my new STR Intake manifold on my JDM ODB0 b16 which is in my 91 civic hatch. This
manifold had only one nipple for collant lines where my stock one had two so I had to do some strange
things with my coolant lines. Since I was forced to do some strange things I decided to go ahead and bypass
every bit of coolant going through my Air intake manifold to cut down on air intake temp. and my car is
running fine with everything hooked up how i have it. When I got it all running I noticed that it was throwing
codes 14 and 6. 6 is (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor) and 14 is (Idle Air Control Valve). I dont know
why this manifold would affect my coolant temp sensor but it was not throwing any codes before i did this. I
wanted to know if there was any way that i could make code 14 stop while still bypassing my IACV like
some way to fool it into thinking its working fine. I would also like to know exactly what what my engine
coolant temp sensor does. I think it controls my fan? If anyone has any information or had an STR intake
manifold ,which is about the same as a venom, and has gone through some of the same problems with it I
would appreciate the help.

Now I just need to figure out how to trick my ecu into thinking my iavc is working when there is no Coolant running through it.
