[urq] Wires at air temp sensor are no longer soldered or connected.

[Brandon Rogers]

Definitely get those hooked back up.  From what I understand - a good clean 
solder job is best in order to minimize the resistance between the sensor 
and the computer.  But a good crimp job is better than disconnnected fo 
rsure.  Have you driven the car lately - I would think you'd be getting the 
4k rpm cutout with them disconnected...
