Default Cel question

Whats good peeps! I just purchased a 95 dx, the previous owner replaced the headgasket, timing belt and waterpump. It appears as if he did a decent job as well. I have had a cel on for as long as ive had it now, about a month or so. Anyways its blowing a 4 and a 6. for the 6 i take it i should just replace the temp sensor. but the 4 ive heard could be the ignition timing. I know its the crank sensor but is it true the the ignition timing could be doing this? Only reason i find it plausible is because of the t belt replacement. Anyways thanks in advance for any help.

The 95 doesn't have a crank sensor. All of the timing related sensors are in the distributor. Setting the distributor wrong won't cause a CEL, it will just run badly.

For code 6, make sure the ECT sensor is plugged in. It's screwed into the end of the head underneath the distributor. The sensor has two wires, the other one nearby with one wire only drives the gauge on the dash.
