Water temp gauge question

My temp gauge doesn't work. I need to know what color the wire is that's supposed to connect to the engine (there's a green wire that I connected but didn't make the gauge work).

Would you happen to know what the black wire and the green wires are for?

The black one has a white/grey line through it, and the green one has a yellow line. I'll snap a pic if that doesn't help.

Yes you are right the post is old but you have these younger generation learning about their car and anyone who is also having a hard time finding it because the manual doesn’t explain it clearly where the part is located then they can research it here.

Here's a good example of NOT starting a new thread on something that has been answered. Good to see someone using the search feature.

The search feature on here is garbage for some reason on certain devices , what I recently started using is google with the "rx7club.com" extension and google searches the website and have obtained much better results.
