water temperature and oil sensor wires

If anyone has any insight on what the wires are for each of these sensors it would be fantastic as I have searched the forum and could not find anything specific enough to help me out. Sorry if I just overlooked it or an just a noob at finding what I need in this forum. I have done a lot of reading in here and it has helped me tremendously throughout my swap back to s6 motor.

AZ 93 rx7 wiring for sensors

Sorry for the lack of specifics in the first thread. The car is a 93 fd and I am trying to get my gauges going... Any information in regards to the location and color of the wires for the coolant temperature sensor and oil pressure sensor would be greatly appreciated. I read many posts, but all I can find is info on an fc for color specifics, and location of sensors being on the driver side for an fd. I an trying to get some specifics on an fd.

Thanks in advance!!!

The stock water gauge is crap and the stock oil pressure sender isn't much better, but at least this can be fixed.

Location of sensors....

Is it sensors that make em shitty or the gauge itself?

Thanks for the input and responding!!!

Oil pressure is the sender. It gets gunned with oil. Cleaning sometimes helps

Water is the gauge. It's not linear. There's a write up on making it linear but is not worth the trouble IMO

Since you didn't specify, There is also a sender on the water fill neck that sends a signal to the ECU to control the fans.

Found the coolant wire

Hey, I found the coolant wire cut off way back on the harness. It was yellow/white stripe. I read that the oil pressure sensor was grey with a red stripe, but cannot locate it...
Thanks for the help
