airbox problem, help!

Hey all FC mechanics, I ran into a few problems today when taking off my radiator and air box. The air box was a noob mistake when I undid the philips screws that held in the wire harness connector. I ended up pulling it out like a noob and found myself accidentally messing up the wiring inside. Anyone know if this is a important for the car to function or if I should go and get a new one?

NOTE: The AFM does not have to come out with the airbox. It can be unbolted from the airbox while still connected electronically!

I did this once a long time ago... but not to worry too much... somewhere on the forum or maybe in the FSM downloadable at fc3s.org there is the wiring diagram for the air flow meter. If your good with a soldering iron, you can re-solder it yourself. Or go to a junk yard and pick one up for cheap from a dead rx.
