Couple questions. Where do these wire/plugs go?

Ok I have a jdm cyclone motor and I just noticed the other day I have this green wire going no where right underneath the throttle body elbow. Here's a pic of it. Anyone know where it's supposed to go?

Alright the next question is. My oil guage never worked since I swapped it. I plugged the plug iinto the oil pressure sensor and it didn't work. So I took a different one off of another motor and it still doesn't work. I don't know if the sensor is bad or possibly it's the wrong plug? Here's a pic of it. There 2 pics because there's an extra plug that looks just like it that's not connected to anything. I tried the other plug and it still don't work. Any ideas?

The first picture (green wire) goes to the TB. It plugs in with a female spade on the idle reset switch which has the male end sticking straight up. The reset switch is on the opposite side of the TPS. In the link it has a large black connector on it.

As for the other wire (black wire end), it goes on the other sensor on the oil filter housing. Notice the white plug on the sensor you currently have the black plug on.

Thanks for the fast reply. I'll have to connect that green wire in a couple mins. I just went outside to check to see if I have another connecter for that plug on my oil filter housing. I think I read a while ago the jdm cyclones housings are a little different than the us one. I don't have that other connector. Here's a pic.

I guess I'll just have to buy a 1990 style housing? Or is there a way to hook this up?
 
A junkyard or Mitsubishi Graveyard might have those sensors. If you are lucky enough to find a 90 turbo vehicle in the boneyard then you would have everything you needed right there. Maybe there is someone selling a 90 style oil filter housing in the classifieds or on ebay. Try someone parting out their vehicle. Otherwise I would try the dealer.

The white plug connects to the oil pressure switch. The black plug connects to the gauge unit. Now you know which sensor is which.

Heres a link to one I found in about 5 minutes in the classifieds.

and another one. Make sure the sensors come with on this one.

Thanks but if I'm gonna buy another oil filter housing, I'd rather buy it brand new with brand new sensors.
