Air intake temp sensor...

OK y'all, here's my dilemma. I am getting a continuous code 10, but don't really know how to test it out. :banghead:
Can anyone tell me where the wires go so I can test for continuity, or maybe tell me if there is a good way to test the sending unit. My car is idling really low, and I assume it's because of that... I would really appreciate any help... Also, when I did my MPFI swap, there were a couple of extra plugs hanging out, and I suppose it's possible that I am using the wrong plug... What color should the wires leading into the air temp sensor be?

The intake Air Temperature sensor is a green/white (ground) and a red/yellow (sensor) plug. It is a white plug that plugs into the drivers side of the intake manifold above the alternator. It is pin # C5 at the ECU. The plug left over from the dx to si mpfi swap is the tandem valve plug which has two wires going to it; an orange wire and a black wire. You can just let this plug hang without problem.

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to hear... Do you know of any way to test the sending unit?

the only way i can think of to test the wiring is to use a multimeter and test for continuity between the wires. For example, hold one lead at the ecu side and then the other lead at the plug on the engine harness. That's all i can think of.
