Intake Air temp sensor (cont'd)

[Brandon Rogers]

so after checking reisistance across pins 30 and 44, and finding things
within spec (495 Ohms) - I stopped thinking about the probelm - plus the
CEL light didn't come back on.  (My urq is wired so the OXS light
functions as the CEL).  But then driving yesterday a couple times the
power was very flat - like the ECU was pulling timing waaayyy back or
keeping the WGFV open as much as possible.  And on the way home last
night it was not pulling strongly like normal - a couple times.  So I
went back to the IAT wires -pulled the boot off - my wires are soldered
- and I think they were hanging on by a few strands as they broke off
when I was fiddling.  So hopefully that was my problem.
 
So my question is what is the list consensus on soldering vs connectors
for the IAT sensor? 
 
thx
