Power supply to intake temp sensor

[Derek Pulvino]

Yes, I've been getting the error code since, well for a long time.  I've
checked at the connections on the temp sensor and have not seen any frayed
wires.  I had the connector off the ECU a coupe of weeks ago, and then
realized that only one connection is listed for the temp sensor at this
interface.  I assume this is the output from the resistor.  Not knowing
which wire provided the input power to the sensor, I could't think where to
attach the other connection on the ohm meter.  You're saying that power is
supplied to the temp sensor from the ECU, but from which connection?  Is
there one catch all power supply wire?

Also, anybody know what the input voltage to the sensor is supposed to be?
