Default Sensor Hellp

I have a 92 civic with a B16 that i just installed. i am getting a few error codes. 6, 7, 20 ,21. Does any one out there know how to check the sensors with an ohms meter and what values I should be seeing for a good sensor.
Thanks!

I would suggest that you clear the codes first, no point in chasing false codes, ifthey return you willknow its real.
On my 90 civic I pull the hazard fuse in the engine compartment for a minuet, then plug it back in. I do not know if its the same with yours.
You need to download the factory manual as suggested.
I just got one for my car, and there was all kinds of stuff that was left outof chiltons, and haynes. Its the only way to go.

A "minuet" might be a little long, and not everybody likes classical music, so waiting for a minute would work too.

Yes anytime there is more than one code, need to clear them and see which ones re-occur. On a swap, make sure the wiring harness is wired properly.

Well I found the problem! It was my brother. He must not have reset the computer or disconnected the battery when he installed my V-tec wiring harness. I'm glad it still runs! He also said that he reset the computer after that and rechecked for codes. Well my boyfriend figured it out thank God. Just had to reset the computer and adjust the throttle sensor.
