Got the codes.. Now i need your help... :)
Please refer to this post as to why my Check Engine Light came on if you wish...
https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/check-engine-light-confused-335162/
1990 GXL
Anyways.. Today i figured out how to read the codes and got code #'s 11 and 33.
11 - Intake Air Thermosensor (Engine)
33 - Port Air Solenoid Valve
I now have no idea what to do. In about 5mins i am gonna get my haynes manual out and see if any wires are broken or not plugged in.
If they are not could you guy's PLEASE tell me what i should be looking for and doing next?
Thank-you!!

Usually, the problem is a fouled sensor connection or disconnected wire, especially if there were no problems indicated by the engine check light before the hose broke.
You should find the solenoid, use the Haynes manual, and clean it really good and also find the sensor that is reporting this problem and check it as well. Clean it really good and make sure the connection is tight.
Last time I got the 11 code I had worked on my engine and knocked the thermosensor connection loose. Find this connection and clean it well and reconnect it.
I doubt if either of these codes indicate a serious problem.

I kind of figured what you said but i cannot find any actual pictures or anything in my Haynes manual, other then these huge diagrams that just confuse me even more.
What i need is someone to put up a picture or tell me very detailed information on where to look and what it looks like.

Ok i found the Intake Air Thermosensor which i believe is below or inside the air filter box...
How do i get to it? Do i have to take off the air filter box or what?
EDIT: Ok i did a search and i guess code 11 refers to the Intake Air Thermosensor on the block only.. Is this correct?
Still have no clue where the Port Air Solenoid Valve is though..

Ok i cleaned the Intake Air Thermosensor on the very back drivers side corner of the intake.
It has 2 little prongs on the end that goes onto a clip correct?
Does it matter which way i put the clip back on because there can be 2 different ways depending on the 2 prongs sticking out.

Ok I FIXED IT!!!!
I cleaned up the Intake Air Thermosensor and plugged it back in.. I reset the ECU by unplugging the negative cable on the battery and i started her back up and no check engine light...
The only thing im still wondering about is why i didn't even do anything to code #33 - Port Air Solenoid Valve and there is now no check engine light...
Did code #11 have something to do with #33??
I took for a good spin around the block and everything seems fine to me.. Runs like a champ...
Thanks for the help GTUser!!
