Fix the previous issues we've repeatedly advise to take care of and perform what you've already been suggested to do, such as pulling codes for free. If you still have issues afterwards, then let us know after letting us know what was completed.

Otherwise, there really is no point to respond here because you seem to only pick & choose part of what we suggest.

The code wont go away once its there. You need to clear it, in your case by disconnecting the battery to reset the ECU as previously mentioned.

Thats not the right way to do it. Search for it or look back in the thread as I'm pretty sure I already explained how.

Here is the diagram to test the circuit and the solenoid.

Google "95 civic oil pressure switch", click on the images tab, and look for the answer.

Correction: 1992 Civic. Either way its the same generation of Civic and likely the same part. Google both then and find out. Its called "research".

How would you plan to remove the current engine then install the '94 engine? Will he do it for you as an inclusion in the swap deal?

And there we have proof of the importance of using punctuations and writing clearly.

If the '94 Civic is in good condition and runs well, you should definitely trade for it. I must question why someone would be willing to trade a 2-year-newer Civic with great low mileage for a poor running older Civic. I can only assume he is a fan of the engine and knows he can easily fix its issues.
