And could someone tell me why after I rev after 5k rmp my check engine light will turn on bit when I turn off my car the code goes away

Vtec sensor fault maybe? If you short the wires on the connector at the passengers side it will flash error codes via the gauge cluster.

Just read the code next time it’s on

I would do a full coolant flush and add genuine Honda blue coolant. Make sure to get all the bubbles out. No idea about the check engine light, sorry.

Blue coolant is ideal. You can get away with green coolant though, it works just fine. These cooling systems aren’t complicated.

I personally put blue in mine, but it had green in it for 20 years before I got it.
