Hey folks,

This connector is long gone and the 4 wires are not 1:1 in terms of color on this '90. It starts up and runs but I have no clue what sensors these wires go to under the intake at the moment. The spade connectors are temporary until I can be sure and then get a proper connector. The car starts and idles fine but the tach is reading low and I doubt they are wired correctly. Any help is appreciated!

Harness/firewall side:
Green w/ Black stripe and red tipping

Sensor/engine side:

Here’s pictures of the wires on the connector for the sensor side.
