You are describing the "intake air temperature sensor" (IAT). It is found in the emissions and control unit wiring diagram. The wire is plain green (g) and eminates from pin 2L on your ecu. If you cannot find the wire you can connect another wire to the wire coming out of your ecu if there is a preexisting wire and run it to the sensor. Of course you will need the proper plug.

Second time is a charm. http://foxed.ca/rx7manual/manuals/S5wiring.pdf pages Z 46-47. The wire is y/w and is part of the emissions harness (em) which then connects to the front harness (f) which then connects to the instrument cluster harness (ic).

The link takes a while to load, try it again. It will provide you with the correct info this time round.
